One of the most moving things I have ever done was look through a high powered microscope in vivid detail the celestial bodies way above us. It nearly made me cry to see the planet surfaces so near. Every day, I look out my backyard onto the crest where the Mt. Lemmon Observatory in Arizona is perched, and where I saw the stars burning. On July 17, 2015, on another observatory in the middle of the great Pacific, snow fell on the volcano that holds up the telescopes. I made this t-shirt because as a kid in Hawaii we thought it was so funny in balmy Hawaii where the warm trade winds blow, on the Big Island of Hawaii, sometimes snow will fall. Summer Snow on Mauna Kea Volcano Observatories July 17, 2015 There is a village of observatories balancing on top of Mauna Kea where the telescopes track the stars that are like frozen crystals in the sky. You can have this moment when they watched under snow cover here for $19.99. I drew the observatories easily because we frequently go to Kitt Peak Observatory on the Indian reservation in Arizona to walk beneath their slender shadows. I had thought that to have a t-shirt of a different Hawaiian vacation where the snow was on the somber community next to the stars, and then back, to wear it with frosty colors in the summer heat. At in Flagstaff Arizona, I made tracks on fresh snow beside the little and olden Lowell Observatory near the break of the new year. Maybe next year, Hawaii will be visited, maybe next time the snow will frost this dormant volcano and I will be there. Until then, this t-shirt can be a celestial gift for $19.99.
