“Red Door” This wonderful red door is the entry to one of the oldest historic churches on the island of Maui, Hawai’i, / Kana’io Church Built in 1907, the people carried lava rocks and coral from the shores and beaches many miles hand to hand up the hills to a site on the mountain in the upcountry where they constructed this church. I understand that this door and its doorframe are built out of Sandlewood. I visited my sister and her husband on the island of Maui from / 1 May 2009 through 18 May 2009 and had the delightful opportunity to visit this church and its gardens. © 2009 Karon Melillo d’Vega / All rights reserved
Featured in ImageWriting group 17 June 2009 i love windows !! this wonderful rustic window is in a beautiful historic museum on the island of Maui called / the Bailey House Museum and it is located on Main Street in the historic town of Wailuku on Maui. / Wailuku is the county seat of Maui. “Built in 1833, the Bailey House is now a museum showcasing Hawaiian culture, artifacts, paintings, and furnishings from nineteenth-century Maui. built on the site of the Royal compound of Kahekili, last ruling chief of Maui, the house served as the Mission station for the Wailuku Female Seminary for Girls until 1847, then occupied by Edward Bailey and his family until 1888.” from the Maui Historical Society The beautiful plants are Ti, the red Ti is female and the green Ti is male. i was told that the green Ti is indigenous to the Hawaiian islands, and the red Ti is not. The red Ti was brought from other Polynesian islands hundreds of years ago. i was also told that Ti is planted at homes and churches to ward off evil spirits, it is considered sacred to the people it is entirely likely that the walls of this museum were built with lava rocks

Polynesian wall art on a building on the island of Maui. some of these symbols are traditional tattoo designs. Triangles were and are tattooed on the body sometimes signifying genealogy. Other symbols painted are flying fish and a double-hulled canoe much like the ones seen in petroglyphs i love the colours and designs ~ of course the bleu signifying the vast ocean May 2009
while although i was immediately attracted to these fishing nets wanting to photograph them, i also understood completely when the Chief of DLNR Police of Maui explained to me that the construction of the netting is too small and therefore illegal preventing small creatures from passing through the net when it is used for fishing in the ocean. these fishing nets were seized by DLNR Police and scheduled for destruction. i am glad however to have had the opportunity to photograph them. because the subject material was interesting to me. Using fishing nets to capture fish from the ocean and sea is an ancient practice. really sad that some people have designed such nets that catch almost everything in the area in which the net is placed. photographed at the (DLNR) Department of Land and Natural Resources Headquarters on the island of Maui Hawai’i May 2009

It is the song of Love; / What Cain or Esau could sing it? / It is more fragrant than jasmine; / What voice could enslave it? / It is heartbound, as a virgin’s secret; / What string could quiver it? / Who dares unite the roar of the sea And the singing of the nightingale? / Who dares compare the shrieking tempest To the sigh of an infant? / Who dares speak aloud the words Intended for the heart to speak? / What human dares sing in voice The song of God?” ~ Khalil Gibran Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / This is a composite of two images, one my husband Jacob took of me at the MACC, the Maui Arts and Cultural Centre in Kahului layered over a photograph I took of the beautiful coastline of Ke’anae Peninsula, Maui Hawai’i, converted to a Sepia toning.

As we drove down from the summit of Haleakala on Skyline Drive, here we are entering the dense clouds and fog belt of the Kula Forest Reserve at 6200 feet elevation. This recreation area is 6,200 feet above sea level in the Kula Forest Reserve. Polipoli Springs is an upcountry park with towering trees and stunning views of the Maui lowlands and the neighboring islands of Lana’i and Kaho’olawe. Polipoli Springs is most notable for its mature forest of beautiful Redwood trees and other exotic indigenous Hawaiian trees such as Plum, Cypress, Sugi, towering Eucalyptus, O’hia and Ash. Extensive trail systems transverse the reserve. Thousands of feet above sea level, there are no mosquitoes in the area, but the temperatures can get quite cold.
