Francis Picabia’s art exhibit at the MOMA was thoroughly entertaining and insightful. His command and usage of various colors speaks volumes by drawing the viewer in the longer they look at each piece of art. He seems to be very inspired by Rodin’s famous work “The Kiss”, and this is evident as many of his paintings are illustrated and named after it. Enjoy!

Black sand beaches are usually indicative of an island with a volcanic past. The unique color of the sand is the result of the mixture of iron, titanium and other volcanic substances. Black sand on the beach typically gets scorching hot during the daytime so be sure to bring your flip flops!

Here is the PRESI list of Top 5 Beaches with black sands:

5. Black Sand Beach of Lost Coast California. It’s great for hiking along the coast and for picture taking. This coast stretches for 80 miles and is known for its peaks and scenic views.

4. Black Point Beach, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Black Point Beach is also home of the historic Black Point Tunnel a 360 foot tunnel which was used hundreds of years ago for sugar transport.

3. Dolphin Beach in Hawaii. Actually named Kehena Beach, it’s often called Dolphin Beach because on days where there is a good current, its common to see people swimming with the dolphins.

1. Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, Hawaii. Located on the Southeastern Kau Coast, this is probably the world’s most famous beach for black sands. On it, you will also find white sands and green sands.
