Down the "Holei Pali" we can see the board of "Puu Loa Petroglyph Trail", it indicates the trekking rout to the wooden promenade to watch the petroglyphs(rock carvings), these were carved by ancient Hawaiians on the Pahoehoe Lava.
It is easy, but no shadow and water, hike about 1.6Km seeing great cliff nearby.
現在、ハワイを象徴するのに使われている、人や魚、亀などの素朴なデザインがたくさん彫られています。この写真は右が頭の人の彫刻です。(あえて影の中に入るように撮ったのですが失敗!)
There are many carvings of naive design, man, fish or turtle etc. They are now some kind of symbol of Hawaii. This is a man, head is right side. (I intentionally took this picture in the shadow. but it was not effective.)
なお、ここは子供の長寿を願ってへその緒を埋めた場所でした。こんなすさまじい景色の中、二人のハワイアンが遠くから子供抱いてここに来て、苦労して岩に穴を掘り、へその緒を納め、その子の幸運を祈っている情景を想像するだに、心温まる思いです。そんな気持ちにしてくれる、ここはそういう場所です。
There are many petroglyph fields in Hawaii, but this place is largest one, about 5000 of petroglyphs here. I cannot comment they are good or not as art, but many of them are very impressive as design.

This is the place parents put the umbilical cord of their child. When I imagine a scene, that pair of Hawaiian came here from distant with baby and made a hole and put umbilical cord and prayed baby's luck in this magnificent view, my heart feel warm and happy. It is very good place for me to feel like this.
