Soft Sunday Whispers

A   L   O   H   A     from   Honolulu!

great inspirations! ”

Shell Ginger Spilling
" It is not easy 
to walk alone
 in the country 
without 
musing upon 
something. "

Kawaiahaʻo Church
" constructed between 1836 and 1842 
of some 14,000 thousand-pound 
slabs of coral rock 
quarried from an offshore reef.
 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!

Birdman said...

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.

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?

Is it possible to walk alone without musing about something? I hope not.
Gorgeous pictures and quotes.

Interesting to see the coral rock church. There will probably be no more built like that, Cloudia.

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!

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