"Punalu'u"
This is a very remote and exquisite place on the Big Island. I don't
think there is anybody living here or anything much else except
roadside restrooms and a monument - remote. There is what remains of
what was the busiest port on the island in the 1800's. There are
groves of coconut palms, now, a sign that people had lived here.
Beautiful fishing ponds hug the black sand beach that curves around
the inlet. From here the land slopes steeply up the side of Mauna
Loa, this planet's largest mountain mass and a still active, growing
volcano. This is the first place you come to on the South Point side
of the Volcano National Park. Pele didn't take this place.
Punalu'u is a pristine place on a rough, wild edge. I can feel that
peace along with it's vulnerability. It's like a place in time that
will be no more.
I feel passion for this place. If you feel passion for the place or
subject of your painting, it will come through in the work, and it
will show in the joy that you feel working.
