Puʻu Mahana is an ancient cinder cone near the southern tip of the island. It is best known for Papakōlea beach, the green sand beach, which formed when the ocean cut into one side of the pu’u, creating the bay seen here. The sand’s green color is due to the presence of the mineral olivine. (More photos here.)

What a gorgeous topper there. What a view!

Yes, the south coast of the island is quite wild and windswept.

We almost visited that beach, Graham! Great shot, so beautiful! If you haven’t yet, take a look at May’s themes for Sunday Stills. I had to re-arrange May 3rd’s. I know you plan ahead, so just letting you know!

Thanks for the heads up, Terri. I had noted your May list and did have things lined up. I probably would have posted the Home topic if you hadn’t said something. I should probably make it my practice to at least check the subject within a day or two of the post, just to see if anything’s changed.

I only changed it because I saw “home” was last week’s theme for Lens Artist. I guess great minds think alike, Haha! See you Sunday!

Yes, I plan on being there in July. Not sure if I’ll be an everyday contributor, but I’ll definitely do some. Depends on how tricky your topic is!
