the
yellow sun
before sunset |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
under
the yellow sun we met
human beings of all "colours" on a small peaceful island |
|
preparing
for the time-eye installation together with the MHPCC-staff
|
 |

up
to the roof
|
 |
 |
everybody is going by car |
 |
 |
there
is
no public traffic |

Hofstetter
Kurt
is
looking for the
exact
direction to the east
|
 |
 |
it´s
a far distance
to the U.S. mainland |
 |
 |
|
direction
to the east
towards
the vulcano
Mount
Haleakala
|
 |
 |
there are about 17 golf courses on the small Maui island |
|
pacing
off the roof
|
 |
 |
even
Frank Loyd Wright has designed a famous golf-club |
|
the
exact position
has
been found
on
the roof nearby the entrance of the MHPCC - building

we
have watched some of the 3500 humpback whales,
which migrate to Maui to mate and bear their calves |

is
installed in the secret area of the MHPCC-building connected to the
time-eye
on the roof

sunrise
on the
dormant vulcano Mount Haleakala, so called "House of the Sun" |
|
Hofstetter
Kurt
is
very happy
to
have the first time-eye installed
|
 |
 |
on the top of the mountain in former times the half-god Maui caught the sun and made her promise to go more slowly over the island |
|
in
particular
because
of
catching the sky over
the
Mount
Haleakala
so
called
"House
of the Sun"
