A conch shell, tropical...

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

A conch shell, tropical fruit, Leis, and rocks wrapped in Palm leaves... at 13,700 feet on Mauna Kea's summit. These offerings are to Pele, the volcanic goddess of Hawaiian lore. This has to be the highest seashell in the world. Photo taken 8-25-05.

"The bizarre trend in mountaineers is not the risk they take, but the large degree to which they value life. They are not crazy because they don't dare, they're crazy because they do. These people tend to enjoy life to the fullest, laugh the hardest, travel the most, and work the least." --Lisa Morgan
