Description
Aloha and good evening/morning where ever you are! This shot is the last in this series on Kalapana. After a hike out to this spot in the dark over a lava field...I am happy to have made it before the sun came up. I have the cam set up and am sitting on the beach waiting for the sun. I can hear the ocean pounding and am excited that the waves are up. What I can't see yet is the dark clouds that will be in the way of the sun for the next 3 hours....Finally the sun rises enough for me to start shooting....I can see by the start of it, it's going to be glorious.
I shot this in between sets. Waves roll in sets of 3-4 per set depending on the swell. It's very unpredictable, sometimes in bigger surf you might see 6-8 waves per set. The stead fast rule is never turn your back to the ocean~ The waves here were rolling all the way up the shore so I ventured on the sand as far as possible between sets and shot this. I wanted the sun shinning off the black sand, managed to get it without getting wet...whew! Probably not the most advisable thing to do without a water housing on your cam..
Thanks for coming along on my trip out to Kalapana, and your many encouraging comments on this series...it's been a blast showing you a little piece of my island. Now on to other things.....Have a great weekend ya'll.. Aloha!

Oh man oh man oh man! I love this image! This is my favorite time of the day to be at the beach. Any time is a good time really, but the lighting just makes things more special in so many ways. I can almost feel my toes in the wet sand and smell the salty air. Perfect! Aloha!

Within each shot of your "Kalapana Series", you've captured true beauty! I can almost hear cousin Piilani practicing the ancient chants behind grandma's house, giving us all chicken skin.... These things I haven't thought of for many years, I thank you! For in remembering, I find joy and peace... Much Aloha to you my friend!
