Photo of the Day (8.7.09)

Flickr user styggiti brings us this gorgeous shot of the Holei Sea Arch, located in Volcanoes National Park (that sounds fun) in Hawaii. This 90-foot-tall natural arch was created by the unique, powerful force of waves crashing against lava rock.

We'd be foolish to expect such a delicate looking structure like this to last forever, but, to borrow a line from W. Somerset Maugham, we'd be even more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.

My wife sometimes uses the observatory at Manua Kea and has visited this park a few times. Sometimes when the volcanoes are active you can actually walk on recently cooled lava. You have to be careful the soles of your shoes don't melt! In other parts of the park the lava is still flowing. It's best to avoid those bits no matter how good your shoes are. :-)
