On A Clear Day...

(photo taken from our driveway)

Waialua is at the base of Mt. Ka'ala, at 4,025 feet it's the

highest point on Oahu.

I was leaving the other day and there wasn't one single cloud in the 

sky! Not one, anywhere! Here in Hawaii our weather is usually

clear, but there are usually some types of clouds somewhere.

I looked up at the mountain and was so surprised it was so clear.

There are some days when the summit of Mr. Ka'ala is 

covered by a fog/clouds. There are ancient forest up there

that are the homes of very rare plants that are protected. So 

Mt. Ka'ala is a bit of a mystery and spiritual place.

Mt. Ka'ala is the home of Princess Kaiona, (attractive ocean). She is very protective

of travelers and even though she is deaf and blind, she sends birds to

help guide the way.

At the top are FAA tracking stations, radio towers and the weather 

station.  At night you can see lights up there and we've joked about it

being a landing spot for the "others" (have to had watched LOST).

I do love to look at Mt. Ka'ala, especially on a clear day.
