Hale Mahina

House of the moon

 

Moon setting over the cloud covered West Maui Mountain (Komohana or Kahalawai) on Christmas morning.

 

Ancient Hawaiians named places for several reasons. One was to describe the geography or events. I like to call the West Maui Mountain Hale Mahina. Depending on where you are, it will appear to disappear behind it.
