of some 14,000 thousand-pound
slabs of coral rock

Hawaiian divers with hand tools
dived 3 to 6 metres
below sea-level to
chisel out each coral block,
which had then to be transported
from the reef and onto shore. "

Very pretty sights around Hawaii this morning and the quotes, always enjoyable.
Great pics Cloudia! Lao Tzu's quote sets one thinking as it stood for contrast yet effective!

Good Morning, Cloudia! Wonderful images.. The sky looks beautiful and I love the Dickens quote. Have a happy day and new week ahead!
Dickens is correct. I always get distracted in the back 40 from my work finding something new.
Pretty amazing, that church construction. Thankfully, we're not supposed to hurt the coral reefs like that any more.

wow. coral rock!
love the ginger!
The skies, they are beautifully blue.
I love the ginger! It's so amazing. The sky is beautiful - the air must be so clean!
don't think I've ever seen a pic of ginger like that before. cool.
Very cool pictures. I loved the light and shadow on the stone and the church made out of coral. Can you get close-ups of the church to see the coral?
That shot of the ginger is so cool!
Lovely pictures. I love the shell ginger spilling...
I hear there is also a pink coral castle in South Miami Florida. So muck work getting the material out of the water- Nifty pics. Have a good week- Aloha!
Is it possible to walk alone without musing about something? I hope not.
Gorgeous pictures and quotes.
The church stands out beautifully!
Love that shadow shot and the quote to go with it!
Interesting to see the coral rock church. There will probably be no more built like that, Cloudia.
A lot of work to build this lovely church. Aloha Tom The Backroads Traveller

Nice series of pictures, fascinating skies!
So much beauty. Love the flower and the shadow on the stones especially. :)
Such beautiful skies

The church is wonderful Cloudia, even more so when you know the history and the work that it took to gather the materials to build it!
Shadows are the softest! Great food for thought on your photo!
Love the shadowy stones!

I love that shot of the shell ginger, Alpinia. I took one too, but it is not hanging as lovely as that.
Beautiful post.
