If you live on Oahu, here's a heads-up. Whatever you’re doing at 12:30 p.m. Saturday (that’s only a couple of days from today), drop it and go outside. Bring your camera with you. Hang around for 7 minutes and wait. At precisely 12:37 p.m., look down and around you.Shadows will be as small as they will ever be. Long, narrow, tall objects like flagpoles will have no shadow whatsoever.
It’s Lahaina Noon 2011, Part 2.
Remember Part 1? It was on May 27, two months ago. Because Hawaii is in the tropics, we get to experience the phenomenon of having the sun directly overhead.
Lihue’s Lahaina Noon occurred at 12:42 p.m. Monday. That’s because Kauai is farther north than we are on Oahu.
Hilo’s Lahaina Noon will happen on Sunday, July 24, at 12:26 p.m. Later than Honolulu, because the Big Island is farther south than we are.
Don’t say I didn’t give you a heads up, now.
