Rainbows in bubbles in a downpouring of rain I asked the Lord to let me see a rainbow. He showed me many in one day. Look at those beautiful rainbows and reflecting trees on a grey rainy cloudy day. The sun wasn`t shining I added no soap. I painted those steps two days ago. I painted them grey. The leaf of the Maple gold and bronze fell there and the puddle surrounded it and the bubbles formed for me. Without any help from my hand.

Aloha ‘oe Featured Art 30 May 2009 Inspired Art Featured Art May 2009 Art by Bubble Hosts Featured Art December 2008 Sea All of the Hawaiian Islands are mountains. The entire island of Maui is an enormous mountain rising up from depths of the ocean floor and surrounded by the vast and beautiful Pacific Ocean. The West Maui mountains are older than the East Maui mountains, specifically the majestic summit of Haleakala, which is one of the highest mountains on earth, a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui, the summit of which is 10,023 feet in elevation from sea level. Mauna Kahalawai of West Maui is the mountain visible in many of my beach images from the south coast of the island and my sunset images from Ku’au and Ho’okipa on the North Shore. This is a composite of my photographs of a beautiful sunset on the golden sands of Po’olenalena Beach, Maui Hawai’i. Visible on the horizon is the sacred island of Kanaloa (Kaho’olawe Island) and Molokini. Text and research by Sharon Mau This image is dedicated with deepest spiritual love, respect and Aloha Na’au to my beloved husband Jacob Mau and kindest respect for his friend Kahu Daniel Kikawa~ Hawai’i ‘78 Revisited “No mind, no form, I only exist; / Now ceased all will and thought; / The final end of Nature’s dance, / I am it whom I have sought. A realm of Bliss bare, ultimate; / Beyond both knower and known; / A rest immense I enjoy at last; / I face the One alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life, / I have become the Goal. / The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God Soul. / My spirit aware of all the heights, / I am mute in the core of the Sun. / I barter nothing with time and deeds; / My cosmic play is done” ~ By: Sri Chinmoy 1931-2007 Aloha e Malama pono.

The sacred O ‘Iao Valley is the most famous valley of this mountain range. The West Maui Mountains or West Maui Volcano, known to Hawaiians as Mauna Kahalawai and Hale Mahina, form a much eroded shield volcano that constitutes the western one-quarter of the Hawaiian Island of Maui.” This archipelago represents the exposed peaks of a great undersea mountain range known as the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain, formed by volcanic activity over a hotspot in the earth’s mantle. At about 1,860 miles (3,000 km) from the nearest continent, the Hawaiian Island archipelago is the most isolated grouping of islands on Earth. The Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain is composed of the Hawaiian Ridge, consisting of the islands of the Hawaiian chain northwest to Kure Atoll, and the Emperor Seamounts, a vast underwater mountain region of islands and intervening seamounts, atolls, shallows, banks and reefs along a line trending southeast to northwest beneath the northern Pacific Ocean. The seamount chain, containing over 80 identified undersea volcanoes, stretches over 5,800 kilometres (3,600 mi) from the Aleutian Trench in the far northwest Pacific to the Loʻihi seamount, the youngest volcano in the chain, which lies about 35 kilometres (22 mi) southeast of the Island of Hawaiʻi. The Hawaiian Islands are that portion of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain that projects above sea level.” Information Source: Wikipedia.

Jacob is featured in one of Daniel’s books ~ God of Light, God of Darkness In preparation for the ‘Io Project, (‘Io is the Hawaiian name for God or the Supreme Creator) when Jacob was asked by Daniel to join the team, Daniel had received information about Jacob as he was working with DLNR in land conservation and drug enforcement, and considering that Jacob is Kanaka Kupuna and has a wealth of knowledge about his people and culture, the Heiau’s, the temples and other sacred, historic and archeological sites on Maui, Moloka’i and the other Hawaiian Islands. It was critically important that the spiritual cleansing of the heiau’s on all the islands take place at the same time. Date of the project 14 March 1998. Excerpt from God of Light ~ God of Darkness – Chapter 20 The Mountain Ridge / “Thursday morning, 12 March, dawned; and Daniel was still without a solution to their dilemma. The phone rang; it was Jacob Mau on Maui. Jacob was known as the best search and rescue man on Maui. He had hunted the mountains and back country of Maui since he was a boy and knew the land like his own back yard. He was a major factor in helping the Maui team find several heiau(s). Jacob told Daniel he was helping Pastor Alan Cravallo get permits to go into several remote valleys in Hamakua on the Big Island. So Daniel told him of their unsolvable problem on Moloka’i. Jacob said he would see what he could do and call him back. Daniel didn’t have high hopes. He had already checked out every possible option. But an hour later, Jacob called back. “I got you a helicopter that will land you at the very top of the mountain – FREE!!”. Daniel was stunned! It turned out Jacob had a pilot friend, Mike (last name withheld by request), who owed him a favour. He and Jacob had worked together many times doing search-and-rescue- missions. Getting permits was not a problem for these search-and-rescue pilots. Jacob said Mike was the best pilot in the islands and that he had landed in the Moloka’i high country many times. God only provides the very best!” end quote Ke Akua o ke Ao, Ke Akua o ka Po / The Chronicles of the Spiritual Battle for Hawai’i NOTICE *I own full and exclusive copyrights on all my photographs, digital art, literary works and images on this website and they are protected under International Copyright laws.

Another shot of the lighting and thunderstorm coming in over the Southern Yorke Peninsula on Thursday the 6th November 2008… one of the most amazing spectacles of lightning I have ever seen! Less than an hour after this shot, I was out with the Country Fire Service (CFS) putting out some grass fires following some lighning strikes… left home at around 1:45 am on the 7th November and arrived home around 2 hours later!
Romance is back. I needed to work on an image with a touch of warmth today as it’s -7 outside. A composite of various photographic, text and texture layers (21 layers in total) Another in the series of works including poetry by my favourite poet Emily Dickinson. WHEN roses cease to bloom, dear, / And violets are done, / When bumble-bees in solemn flight / Have passed beyond the sun, / / The hand that paused to gather / Upon this summer’s day / Will idle lie, in Auburn,— / Then take my flower, pray!
It’s all about grabbing your chances, ceasing the moment and the day!

Certain Bubblers will get this… Just taking the piss out of something I read this morning. / I’m sure others have read it too.
Although dark the mysterious light of the sun flickers through the canopy of branches cascading downwards to the ground. / To me the image of light appears as a Angel descending from Heaven.. Natural lighting was used, absolutely no flash or editing apart from my sig. I could have lightened the image but I chose not to, I like the mystery it gives the viewer..
