The most famous volcanic crater in the world is Diamond Head, located on the South-east Coast of O’ahu at the end of Waikiki overlooking the Pacific Ocean. / Originally named Le’ahi by the ancient Hawaiians. meaning “brow of the tuna”. / The current name was given to the crater by British sailors in the 1800’s. / When they first saw the crater at a great distance, the calcite crystals in the lava rock appeared to glimmer in the sunlight. / The sailors mistakenly thought there must be diamonds in the soil. / Diamond Head is a crater that has been extinct for 150,000 years. / The crater is 3,520 feet in diameter with a 760-foot summit. / When the United States annexed Hawaii in 1898, harbor defense became a main responsibility. / One of the major defense forts, Fort Ruger, occupied the Diamond Head Crater. / A battery of canons was located within the crater providing complete concealment and protection from invading enemies. / An observation deck was constructed at the summit in 1910 to provide target sighting and a four level underground complex was built within the walls of the crater as a command post. / A 580-foot tunnel was dug through the crater wall to provide easier access to the Fort. / acrylic on fabric / and now Look what THEY’VE done…..... / /

There is no growth without the pain and work of building. There is no growth without failure. There is no growth without lessons, love and letting of it all to proceed. Each time you break is an opportunity for growth. Took me 37 years to learn that. Now… when I break… I know I am getting somewhere.

NOW ABOUT THIS GROUP
The Bits and Pieces Group although we initially started out accepting pieces of art
and writings that did not fit into any other Groups….we have grown and now feel
that we will accept any art and writings as long as they meet the Group’s guidelines
and are accepting “bits and pieces” that have been accepted by other Groups…
..for people new to writing… and anything else they may need a hand with….......where novices can post without feeling self conscious …..
.....a place where everyone with a love for expressions can meet and greet…...and say…”.Hey….....how can I finish this off..”
Or where ones upload has been exceeded….and a refuge is needed until they can post again….
This is just a “Pub on the Corner” type place…....
....we like to think of it as “BIPS” where our beeps of imagination become beautiful songs!
Is yours the next Masterpiece?
The voice that speaks to hearts?
An escape to moments of harmony?
you’ll never know until you’ve tried!
