Maui Events

It’s that time of year again when the Hawaiian Islands experience the astronomical phenomenon known as “Lahaina Noon” – when the sun is directly overhead at high noon. Lahaina’s was yesterday and I happened to be at the Post Office when it happened.  For just a few moments the flagpole didn’t cast a shadow and I was able to take a photo.  Hawaii is the only state in the nation  where this occurs, twice a year at every location in the islands.
