Namaste,
Just when I thought that there was nothing left to explore at Kona, I came across a Shivling type symbol at a couple of Hawaiian sacred sites. The first one was at a small shrine at a beach
The second was at a much bigger shrine at a bay. I could not find any literature on the significance of their use of the symbol of this shape in their shrines. The temple was a large flat surface made from lava rocks. At one corner of this temple was an alter, again a flat surface made with lava rocks and the Shivling type symbol was nestled at the center of the alter with the support of a pile of lava rocks. Such sacred sites are always marked with signs reading KAPU, meaning 'no trespassing'.
Petroglyph at a remote location - ancient Hawaiians made carvings on the rocks at this site and their significance is unknown
At the end of the day one could just rest up
Or enjoy the scenery
Pranam.

Namaste,
Thanks for the info. Umbrellas were good for the light rain but when it became a downpour, we had to run for cover.
Thanks EM for taking the time to browse through.
