Subject: PESO: The Shellists

Part of the daily ritual of watching sunset on Maui is the Shellists.
As the sun dip beneath the ocean (or behind Lana'i, depending on the
season), people blow into conch shells, using them as a valveless
trumpet.  Here, several "shellists: have gathered on a Lana'i
overlooking the Pacific to jointly serenade the setting of La, the
sun.
