She was originally named Lydia Liliu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamaka’eha, Lydia Liliuokalani Paki, and also known as Lydia Kamakaʻeha Paki, with the chosen royal name of Liliʻuokalani. Queen Liliʻuokalani was an accomplished author and songwriter. Her book, Hawaiʻi’s Story by Hawaiʻi’s Queen, gave her view of the history of her country and her overthrow and therefore became the first Native Hawaiian female author. Liliʻuokalani was known for her musical talent. Lili’u is said to have played guitar, piano, organ, ‘ukulele and zither. She also sang alto, performing Hawaiian and English sacred and secular music. She would find herself in music. In her memoirs she wrote: “to compose was as natural to me as to breathe. This gift remains a source of the greatest consolation.” She wrote over 165 songs and chants. Some of her best-known musical compositions include the song, “Aloha ʻOe”, “The Queen’s Jubilee”, “He Mele Lahui Hawai’i”, and “Ku’u Pua I Paoakalani” ~ Source: Wikipedia

Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved / My images do not belong to the public domain Beauty XXV “But the restless say, “We have heard her shouting among the mountains, And with her cries came the sound of hooves, and the beating of wings and the roaring of lions.” At night the watchmen of the city say, “Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.” And at noontide the toilers and the wayfarers say, “we have seen her leaning over the earth from the windows of the sunset.” In winter say the snow-bound, “She shall come with the spring leaping upon the hills.” And in the summer heat the reapers say, “We have seen her dancing with the autumn leaves, and we saw a drift of snow in her hair.” All these things have you said of beauty. Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied, And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear, But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears. It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw, But rather a garden forever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight. People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.” ~ Khalil Gibran Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Lava

Kaula’uo / Ulua / Mokapu Beach / Wailea / Maui Gold Coast / Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved This image is the result of an experiment in light and camera settings as I was trying to reproduce the atmospheric conditions of the moment. You may see my camera data below. Please let me know what you really think of it. These two beaches are accessible by the same path along the wonderful elevated boardwalk, although they have different names for each side of the beach. When you are facing makai, the ocean, to the right is Mokapu Beach, which lies just in front of the Renaissance Wailea Beach Resort and to the left is Ulua Beach. 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. Ulua is name after the adult Crevalle fish. The Ulua fish is also known as Pompano. When the fish is less than 10 pounds, it is called Papio. The Ulua fish may be caught with a rod and reel from the shoreline and is considered one of the most sought after inshore fishes on the islands. It is delicious when breaded with a light seasoned flour and grilled or lightly sauteed with fresh lemon butter and dill weed. The original name of this lovely beach was Ke One Ulua (pronounced o-ney) / Like Polo Beach, Ulua is a name unfamiliar to Kanaka Maoli (Indigenous Hawaiians) and Kama’aina (long time residents) on Maui. The original name was Kaula’uo and that is what I prefer to call it as I believe the original name should be restored.
