Hawaiian Petroglyphs

Big Island, Hawaii. Surprisingly field full of Hawaiian petroglyphs in the Waikoloa area -- amidst hotels and resorts. Mostly ignored by tourists and dozens and dozens of joggers, who are so busy listening to their iPods they don't bother to look down at their feet. Relatively new, in historical terms, as the Hawaiian islands were only recently populated by humans (between 200 AD and 500 AD). The symbol on the left is a sea turtle (Honu) - representing good luck, the circle next to it potentially representing the first born son of whoever carved this petroglyph.
