In the Beginning Sunset view of Kanaloa (Kaho’olawe Island) and Molokini from A la nui o Kanaio Ulupalakua Maui Hawai’i See the small tiny Coconut Palm trees lining the shoreline far down below? Knowing those palms are about 30 feet tall will help to give you perspective. Those are among the coastal villages of Wailea and Makena. Here at this elevation Kanaloa (Kaho’olawe Island) appears as a jewel suspended on the golden horizon in the deep blue ocean. This photograph is toned down just a bit as the original is so bright. This sunset was so brilliant shimmering in the evening sky I could not gaze through the viewfinder and had to shut my eyes when I took this shot.

Hamakua Poko Beach / H-Poko Papa / Ku’au Cove / Sunrise on Maui’s North Shore Beaches We had a minor earthquake last night. You may read about it in my journal This is H-Poko Point overlooking the beautiful golden sands of Hamakua Poko Beach and Ku’au Cove gazing toward Mauna Kahalawai, I’ao Valley and the West Maui mountains. The city of Kahului and the Kahului Harbour is in the distance at the base of the mountains. Mama’s Fish House, a sensational restaurant with delicious island style fare and fabulous fresh catch seafood, is near the smaller golden beach you see on the left near the homes and Coconut Palms. Hamakua Poko Beach and Ku’au Cove is about midway between Ho’okipa Beach and the coastal town of Pa’ia. Hamakua Poko is the original name, and H-Poko is a common abbreviated form most used by locals. Papa is a Hawaiian word referring to the wide shelf of exposed flat table-like reef that fronts the short narrow golden sand beach here, along Ho’okipa Beach as well as other beaches on Maui. Hamakua Poko is popular among locals with shoreline fisherman, snorkelers and skin divers. Hamakua , which means “long corner” is the name of two districts on Maui, Hamakua Loa (long Hamakua) and Hamakua Poko (short Hamakua). H-Poko Papa is fronted by deep water and strong currents. There are many large tide pools which are excellent for swimming when tide is fairly low. Aloha kakahiaka, good morning Maui.

Scarlet Red Hibiscus / ‘Aloalo Hiwahiwa He pua laha ‘ole / (Hibiscus, precious favourite one, rare, prized, blossom) Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved It is believed that there are only five species of Hibiscus that originated from Hawai’i. Other species found their origin in Asia and the Pacific islands. In the early twenties, the Hibiscus Brackenbridgei was adopted as the official Territorial flower of Hawai’i. It kept this status throughout the 20th century, but only in 1988 its yellow colour was defined as the official colour for the Hibiscus representing the State of Hawai’i. Before 1988, the official Hibiscus could have any colour. Additionally, it was not until 1988 that the flower could represent the State of Hawai’i, because before that time the territorial status of the group of islands was unclear. Hawai’i’s state flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. Research suggests there were originally only five species of the tropical Hibiscus that were native to Hawai’i. Growers began to hybridize these native species with other varieties imported to Hawai’i, which produced the huge kaleidoscope of colours and sizes available today. There are several ways to tell the difference between the tropical and hardy perennial varieties. Tropical hibiscuses have dark green glossy leaves, sporting 3-4 inch flowers that are either single or double in colors of yellow, orange, pink, or red. Also, tropical hibiscus can have blossoms of salmon, orange, yellow, or peach with double flowers. Hardy perennial Hibiscus have foliage of medium-green with leaves that are heart shaped. Their flowers of white, red, or pink are much larger than those of the tropical Hibiscus. Many hibiscus aficionados increase the number of plants they have by using cuttings, a practice known as cloning or asexual reproduction. Select the best tips; look for good leaf color and a robust upright growing stance. Water the plants in the morning before taking the cuttings. Use sterilized shears. Count down about 4 leaf nodes to where the stem starts turning from light green to brown. Make each cut at a 45 degree angle just below a leaf node. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, as well as any large top leaves. Dip the point of the cutting into a rooting stimulant, and then insert them into the growing medium only as deep as necessary to keep them upright. The cuttings should be fully rooted by the end of 6 weeks, and can then be transplanted. If the cuttings have been rooted in a green house, they should be hardened off before transplanting, by switching them to regular irrigation, and moving them out into the sunlight during the day, and back indoors for the night, for a few days. This is a hardy perennial Hibiscus / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Na Honokohau ~ Na Honoinahau ‘Elua / Hawaiian translation: Honokokahau ~ Bays of the Two Wind-Born Dews Honokohau Boulder Beach This wild beautiful remote coastline is called Honokohau Boulder Beach. It is one of six famous Maui bays with names beginning with the word Hono (Bay) / Collectively, they are known as Na Honoapi’ilani (the bays acquired by Pi’ilani, a great Maui chief). It is an historic site and there is a pre-contact burial site nearby. “Those of the warrior caste in Hawai’i, during the time of the Ali’i, (the ruling Kings and Chiefs), were charged with protecting that which was most important to society at the time, the ruling Chiefs. Since contact with European cultures, that which is most important to the Kanaka Maoli, (indigenous Hawaiians), has shifted. Today, it is our ancestors, our past, and our children, the future generations of Hawai’i, that must be nurtured and protected. Our past tells us where we came from and who we are. Our children are the future of us. Everything we do today, we do for them.” Quote by Solomon Ha’aheo Kailihiwa III The beautiful island of Moloka’i is visible on the horizon.

Jacob and I are in this YouTube video! We were at the MACC, The Maui Arts and Cultural Center in Kahului here on Maui where Jacob was displaying his beautiful tropical flowers of Hawai’i photographs for sale along with many other talented local Maui artists and musicians. 3rd Annual Maui Ukulele Festival 2008 Shafts of afternoon sunlight and near-vertical beams of crepuscular rays and prismatic colours illuminate the valley above Kahakuloa Village Maui Hawai’i The population of this lovely remote village is about 100 people. This is true Hawai’i, where many of our Ohana and friends live, in particular our dear friend “Kupuna Richard Ho’opi’i, his beautiful wife and their Ohana. Kahakuloa is a beautiful place where the Aloha spirit and Hawaiian culture thrives and the people are stewards of the land, actively practicing and perpetuating ancient Hawaiian traditions, culture and customs of sustainable farming and fishing, responsibly managing land, water and natural resources. Kahakuloa Stream flows through this valley where it meets the Pacific Ocean at Waihale Cove in the bay on the right just outside the frame in this image. On the Hawaiian Islands, Kalo, also known as Taro is a traditional staple, as in many tropical areas of the world, and is the base for making poi. There is also a beautiful Loko i’a, “The Hawaiian people practice aquaculture through development of fishponds (Hawaiian: loko iʻa), the most advanced husbandry of fishes among the original peoples of the Pacific. These fishponds are shallow areas of a reef flat surrounded by a low rock wall (loko kuapa) built out from the shore. Several species of edible fish (such as mullet) thrive in such ponds, and methods were developed to make them easy to catch. The rock walls, being somewhat porous, let in seawater (or sometimes fresh or brackish water, as in the case of the “Menehune” fishpond near Līhuʻe, Kauaʻi), but prevent the fish from escaping. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “Crepuscular rays, in atmospheric optics are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. The name comes from their frequent occurrences during crepuscular hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious.” Atmospheric Optics Information Source “The trade winds are strong at lower altitudes, fresh and invigorating after having traveled over thousands of kilometers of open ocean. The warm moist air blows past Kahakuloa, rises and condenses against the West Maui mountains in a thick cloud, so thick that the forests beneath look black. The peak within the clouds, Pu’u Kukui, receives about 988 centimeters of rain each year, making it the third wettest place in Hawai’i and ranking high among the wettest places on earth. A volcanic dome lies at the end of Kahakuloa Stream. Kahakuloa is at the mouth of the stream, Mount ‘Eke at it’s head. ‘Eke is a thick, steep sided dome with a flat top looking like an upside down cupcake. The dome rests on three flows of trachyte, each 320 meters thick.” Geological and Historic Information Source: Will Kyselka and Ray E.

Elam Filos playing in the surf on Ho’okipa like a child on a bright and shiny day. Ho’okipa is very popular and is just a short drive from our home upcountry. It is also quite famous as one of the wind surfing capitols of the world. It is here you will also the beautiful Honu feeding nearby and Hawaiian Monk Seals occasionally basking in the sun. If you do see them, please maintain a good safe distance as these beautiful creatures are endangered and are protected. On a bright sunny day with good clear atmospheric conditions, the ocean on this side of the island is a glorious aquamarine blue. I also enjoy watching and photographing the sunsets from Ho’okipa in summer as the sun is setting over West Maui and Kahakuloa. During winter the sun is setting on the opposite side of the island over Kaho’olawe. In winter you may also see the magnificent Humpback Whales from Ho’okipa, that is always a thrill. There are strong currents and rip tides here in this channel so if you plan on swimming I do hope you are experienced. And of course there is a long bench of coral reef called a Papa and many volcanic lava rocks, some smooth and some quite sharp, so you must know where you going to enter the water. Here in this area along Maui’s beautiful North Shore the ocean is clean and clear and absolutely delicious. I much prefer to swim in the tide pools on the opposite end of the beach. It is much safer there. I only need to remember to wear shoes as there are many sea urchins.

These beaches are very popular places for walking, running, sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling, featuring sandy bottoms. In summer the water is wonderfully warm. It is a beautiful long stretch of golden sand, and the luxurious bronzed golden sand is reflecting the beautiful warm colours of sunset in this image. It was a peaceful evening on Maui’s Gold Coast.

Reverend Wedding Officiate Laki Pomaikai Ka'ahumanu Akima Kanaka Hawaiian Chant 'Oli conch shell Pu wedding Pa'ako Beach 01 June 2009 Sharon Mau
by Sharon MauMahalo e ke Akua, na ‘aumakua, na kini akua, a me na ki’ipuna to all my viewers. Thank you so much for your gifts of Aloha and your kindness. This lovely couple married 01 June 2009 on the beautiful Pa’ako Beach, also well known as Wedding Beach and Makena Secret Cove. I have more images if you are interested in them. Reverend Wedding Officiate Laki Pomaikai Ka’ahumanu Akima (who is a member of our Ohana) sings, plays Ukulele, performs cultural and traditional Hawaiian chant (‘oli) and at the beginning and end of the ceremony he blows the Pu, the conch shell pu in honour of their wedding on Pa’ako Beach 01 June 2009 as the couple stands within the floral circle of Love at sunset. One of the most wonderful things about the lovely beaches on Maui is that they all have public access. There are no private beaches. Here on this evening as this lovely couple were marrying, there were three other weddings taking place simultaneously. You may notice in most of my Pa’ako Beach photographs published on this website, there are no people in my images. Yet often there are weddings taking place all around me. I have decided to publish them now in hopes that the wedding parties will discover their wedding photos. I am certain they would love to have them. I know I would. I have photographs of the Photographers as well and I will be publishing those soon. This photograph was a challenge for, as you can see, I was shooting into the sun as the sun was setting over Molokini and the people were cast in deep shadows. I processed Curves and reset the White Balance, then stretched the Histogram just a bit to pull out details. Using the lasso tool, I then selected each face and their hands and smoothed the skin. Then I applied a digital noise removal application over the entire image. I do hope you enjoy it. It was a perfect evening for this lovely couple to marry at sunset here on Pa’ako. I researched for such a long time to discover the name of this beautiful beach asking many of my husband’s family and friends until I finally discovered the name Pa’ako. Now I see it is all over the internet. For such a long time this beach was called by most everyone on the island Wedding Beach. I am happy to see it now called by it’s true name. If there was a Hawaiian name preceding this one, I have not yet discovered it in my research. The names of beaches, coves, bays and inlets on Maui have been changed, sometimes more than once, mostly by foreigners and developers. I try to promote and publish their true ancient Hawaiian names. When and if I do discover a previous authentic Hawaiian name for Pa’ako, I will update the information. Pastor Laki, as he is called, is the senior pastor of the Harvest Chapel Church of God in Lahaina here on Maui. He is also the author of “Will You Marry Me.” His ceremonies may include the traditional Hawaiian Pu (conch) Shell sounding. He is the great great grandson of Hawai’i’s Queen Ka’amanu’s adopted daughter and is a member of my husband’s Ohana.

Ho’okipa Beach is world renowned as one of the international surfing capitals of the world. It is here you may see professionals from many countries around the world as well as many talented locals competing and enjoying this wonderful watersport.
