Hey Paipo, thanks! That x-ray idea is really cool. Glad you dig the new tiki so far. It's amazing how many different takes there can be on "tiki", and after seeing such great art by so many other tiki artist's it seems as endless as endless as the imagination.

Anyways, so here I am in Kona Hawaii, and I HAVE to share this awesome sight I just saw with you great folks on TC. It's a full moon, or close to it. Kona is at the sea shore on the west side of the island. Looking up the enormous sweeping expanse of the volcano to the east, I see the moon just rising over it's rim. It's dazzling in it's brightness as there are no enormous amounts of city lights to subdue it's brilliance, as in LA. The moon is causing the "Vog", (volcanic fog) that wreaths the higher areas of the volcano above the coast, to luminous with this ghostly blue/white color. It's glowing fog - like in that old horror movie "the Fog". As I look up the vog is sweeping out long tentacles across the sky. Very eerie and very beautiful! By the time I went inside and got my camera, the moon had risen further and the effect is gone. Just another mystic tropical night in Hawaii.
