Believe it or not, there was a wood pile in the backyard of the house we stayed in in Hana, Maui. A house without a fireplace, in Hana with a wood pile? Obviously it hadn't been touched in years. It was the textures and colors that drew me closer in spite of spider webs & spiders!
Later that day, we did a history walk about Hana, led by Martha Yacht and Ward Mardfin. Both are long-time residents in Hana and involved in the Cultural Center. Ward is writing a book about the history of Hana. As we were walking through the town we came to a park area with a cooking pit. They explained about the traditional pig roasts at celebrations. I mentioned the wood pile at our house & wondered if it might have been part of that tradition. They knew the house and original owner and felt that it was a likely explanation.
I like to think this represents a bit of history of Hana. I like the textures and colors too.
