A big wave on the north shore of Oahu. I thought about removing the splash dots in the foreground but I’m not that good with photoshop and I kinda like them.

In the Hawaiian religion, Pele is the goddess of volcanoes. According to legend, Pele lives in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater Kīlauea. After the sunset, splendid glow comes out from her house. The party starts.

Here is a picture of Pali Peak and Ko’olau Ridge taken during our recent trip to Hawaii from the Pali Notches in the island of Oahu. My husband Paul Rojas wanted to get a shot from the notches as he figured that Pali peak and Ko’olau Ridge catch most of the afternoon light and there is no other place best to take the picture of it but from a higher vantage point, that is from the sketchy Pali Notches.
When we first scouted the area, we were greeted by a steep 70 degree trail, with barely just roots and dead branches to hold on to. I told Paul that it would be best to buy an insect repellent as I’ve had terrible experiences in the past during my hikes back home in the Phils where mosquis actually pierce through your clothing just to get their daily dose of iron. We decided we should just come back when we are properly equipped for the hike.
After reading blogs on the Pali notches hike, we came back a couple of days and realised that the trail head actually had a NO ENTRY sign warning visitors to not go beyond that point – apparently there were a number of accidents where hikers either fell off or got injured during hikes.
In the middle of our hike, we were surprised to hear a couple trailing behind us which we thought were Oahu locals given their hiking attires- they were wearing flip flops and your casual mall shorts. They actually hiked past us, and it did seem by how quickly they reached the first clearing that this is just one of their regular afternoon hikes (more like a date, actually).
Paul and I quickly set up our camera and tripods as soon as we got to the first clearing. Paul hates me when he saw this picture as he said he didn’t get any decent comps but I’m pretty sure he’ll come up with something, maybe not now. It’s just that he lets it brew for a few months, years even, and comes back and works on it depending on when he finally is “feeling” it.
This photo is a two exposure blend.

An aerial shot of the Maui East Coast taken from a helicopter. The road along the coast on the right is the Hana Highway, right bottom front is the Ho’okipa beach park. On the far end toward the horizon you see the older volcano (1.32 m years old, last eruption 320,000 years ago), now the West Maui Mountains. All the greens are sugarcane plantations. Weather on the island changes quickly, Lucky to get clear skies and beautiful clouds after a heavy rains. Best viewed large – can you see the cars on the highway?

There are only about 1100 Hawaii monk seals on the world. 5 of them live in Big Island. I was lucky to run into one of them on a beach near Kona airport.
