Some visual relief from the news

It鈥檚 only Wednesday, and it already feels like a long news week. For a perspective shift, peer through our camera lens today. Staff photographer Melanie Stetson Freeman and staff writer Jackie Valley take us to Diamond Head State Monument in Hawaii. When it was discovered in the 1700s, explorers thought the belly of the crater was filled with diamonds. They were seeing calcite crystals. This place used to be a citadel and coastal defense system with tunnels, bunkers, and lookout stations. Now, rising nearly 600 feet, it鈥檚 a National Natural Landmark and one of Hawaii鈥檚 most recognizable sites.
