Okay, so my attempts at keeping up my Photo of the Week feature have been spotty at best. Sadly, there's always too many things that like to interfere with my true passions - hiking and photography. Anyways. For this week's photo, I'm posting one of the Nakalele Blowhole on the northwest coast of Maui. I'm still sorting thru photos from that trip (not to mention the Crater Lake snowshoe trip) and wanted to share one of the more powerful eruptions that I happened to catch. The spouting blowhole is caused by the high surf flowing up thru an old lava tube and spouting out a small "skylight." In really heavy surf, the spout can reach up to 60'. This particular attraction is located just off the highway, about a half hour north of Lahaina. A short quarter-mile walk leads down to the blowhole area.
