Hawaii, the paradise... (11)

I would not have done justice to the Big Island had I not showed you Kona Village -- the west side of the island.  So, here it is -- the desert side of the paradise!! 

We didn't have enough time to go back there for the 2nd time during our last trip, but I would like to visit Kona Village again next time.  When you drive to the west side of the island, it feels like you're in a totally different world.  The land is covered by the lava rocks, deserts and those tiny little grasses.  Human "intervention" is significant there, as evidenced in Picture 1, where expensive resorts have been built on top of the lava land!

Wish I could go back to take photos of the little grasses under the setting sun.  They grow under harsh conditions, but to me, they look as attractive and beautiful as all other green grasses...  I am sure that during each sunset, they get to show off their unique beauty in golden color...
