Souls at Sunset" Copyright

Kauai is
known as the garden isle and with good reason. This photo was taken at Polihale State
Beach, the westernmost point in the USA. According to mythology, spirits and ghosts
would come to Polihale from other parts of Hawaii. Long ago, homes were even built
near Polihale with no east-facing doors to prevent traveling spirits from getting trapped
inside. After resting at the heiau (temple) at Polihale Beach, the spirits would
climb the 300-foot seacliffs and leap off to get to Po ... the offshore afterworld.
Polihale means House of Po. As the scene would indicate, the beach is both large and
out of the tourist main stream. Here you will feel as if on a deserted island as you lay
in the golden sand with someone special while the setting sun warms and caresses mind and
body. |
