Spouting Horn - Kauai

I am so glad that my friend, Pam McGahey, went to Hawaii and was willing to share all of her great photos with me plus allow me to post them to my blog.   I'm in awe of the beauty of the islands, and can't wait to see it in person for myself.

Today's photos are of the Spouting Horn in Kauai.  It is a natural phenomenon that occurs when water rushes over the lava shelves and then is pushed up thru a small air hole in the ground.   It makes a whistling/hissing sound and then shoots water up into the air.  Every wave creates a spurt, some as high as 50 feet into the air.   At sunset the water picks up the colors of the rainbow.

Hope you enjoy today's photos:
