Rocking Ocean in Motion

Wave action on Pa’ako Beach
Makena Maui Hawai’i
View of Kaho’olawe Island on the horizon

From my collection:
Eye of Kanaloa

“The island of Kaho’olawe is actually the summit of a single volcanic dome. It is one of the older of the main group of Hawaiian Islands. Kaho’olawe is 11 miles long and six miles wide It has a land area of 45 square miles. Kaho’olawe is separated from Maui by the 6.9 mile wide Alalake’ike Channel and from Lana’i by the 17.5 mile Kealaikahiki Channel.”

When a non-Hawaiian resident speaks of Hawai’i, they are most likely speaking of O`ahu, Maui, Kaua’i, or The Big Island of Hawai’i. They may know of Moloka’i and even Lana’i, but, most likely, they do not know of Kaho’olawe. For the indigenous Hawaiian, for the Kanaka, that is not the case. Kaho’olawe is a sacred island to Hawaiians.

It is a place deeply rooted in the history, culture and religion of the Hawaiian people. In the twentieth century what was allowed to occur on Kaho’olawe Island was a prime example of callous disregard for the people of Hawai’i, our culture and our beliefs by the United States government. It is only in recent years that steps have been taken to begin to repair the damages done and restore the island to the people of Hawai’i. For many of those efforts we honor the `Ohana.

This one makes a big splash with me, too, Sharon. Gives a new meaning to catching a wave.

What a fast camera you have to grab such detail in action.

Love it.

Didn’t the US Govt take over that Island for bomb practice or something like that?? I know of the Island and I remember being told something along those lines. What a shame, the Gov’t is so wasteful for sure!
