Lower Nahiku at Sunset / Makapipi East Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Nahiku translates in the Hawaiian language to Seven / and refers to the Seven Sisters Constellation. Nahiku is located near the Ko’olau Forest Reserve on the east coast of Maui Hawai’i between Hana and Ke’anae. Here you may enjoy beautiful scenic views from Opuhano Point and Nahiku Landing, while resonating with the wonderful distinct sound of rolling lava pebbles from the surf in Honolulunui Bay.

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.

On the Whispering Sea Pa’ako Beach / Twilight Makena Maui Hawai’i “To possess good intuition, goodly power, causes work. / It causes work firstly in the watching and comprehending of negative forces and imbalances both inward and outward. / Secondly, it causes striving in the gathering up of will in order to do something about what one sees, be it for good, or balance, or to allow something to die. I will not lie to you; it is easier to throw away the light and go to sleep. For with it, we clearly see all sides of ourselves and others, both the disfigured and the divine and all conditions in between. Yet, with this light the miracles of deep beauty in the world and in humans come to consciousness. With this penetrating light one can see past the bad action to the good heart, one can espy the sweet spirit crushed beneath hatred, one can understand much instead of being perplexed only. This light can differentiate layers of personality, intention, and motives in others. / It can determine consciousness and unconsciousness in self and others. / It is the wand of knowing. / It is the mirror in which all things are sensed. / It is the deep wild nature.” / From The Retrieval of Intuition as Initiation ~ Women Who Run With Wolves Featured Art 20 August 2009 / A Place To Call Home / I ke kai Hawanawana ~ Eia ku’u lei Aloha Pa’ako Beach / Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.

Pa’ako Beach Makena Maui Hawai’i Kai Makani Ho’ohinuhinu Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved Listen to a beautiful mele by Keali’i Reichel and view a beautiful video Okala Island Moloka’i Hawai’i Why is the ocean blue? / There are several theories: Blue wavelengths are absorbed the least by the deep ocean water and are scattered and reflected back to the observer’s eye Particles in the water may help to reflect blue light The ocean reflects the blue sky Most of the time the ocean appears to be blue because this is the colour our eyes see. But the ocean can be many other colours depending upon particles in the water, the depth of the water, and the amount of skylight. The colours we see depend upon the reflection of the visible wavelengths of light to our eyes. Besides being pretty to look at, colours and the light they come from really do have the power to impact people in many ways. Along with the aesthetics of light and colour, there is real science behind each and every sight we see. Each flash or ray of light, each shade of colour that light makes visible, and each time our eyes receive the messages to see them, we are reminded of a special relationship — one that is often overlooked because we simply take seeing for granted. We miraculously experience a bright, vivid world because of the workings of our eyes, the wonders of light, and the brilliance of colour. The Franklin Institute provides a good explanation of how we see colour. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

All rights reserved “The stillness of the moment / The outside world cannot touch me here. / Everyday concerns melt away, meaningless. Contentment fills my heart. The Spirit of the Place is close / I sit within its sacred boundary. / It resides within me / We are joined soul to soul The surface of the river is calm / It stretches out from me / Reflecting the blue of the sky / As it winds its way on its journey The gulls glide on the breeze / Circling high above my head / Under the gaze of the sun. / I am enveloped in the heat of the day. There is always a story to tell / If you can find it / Looking under stones upon the beach / Are there secrets here? / I sense the power of this place / Moving in its own way / Leading me along the path / Of spirit and inspiration. Only the moment matters here / This reconnection to the Earth / Lost in the tracks of time I reclaim the past, reclaim my memory. / The Spirit knows its own truth / It weaves its own reality / Whispering in a quiet voice / It challenges me to understand.” ~ Poetry by Vanora Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / This is a composite of three of my images. / /

I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” He Lei no ke Koholā / A Lei for the Whale by Keonaona Kapuni- Reynolds “Ma ka moana nui o ka Pākīpika e noho a ola ana he mau koholā. ‘O ka pilikia ma waena o kēia mau koholā, ‘o ia ho‘i ko lākou makemake i nā mea u‘i a ho‘onaninani i ko lākou kino. ‘O ka mea i ‘ike nui ‘ia ‘o ia ho‘i ka pī‘oe. ‘Ike ‘ia nā koholā he nui wale i ho‘onaninani ‘ia me nā pī‘oe a puni o ko lākou kino. I kekahi manawa ua ‘ike ‘ia nā ‘ano pūpū like ‘ole e pa‘a pū ana i ke koholā. ‘O ke koholā waiwai loa ‘o ia ho‘i ke koholā me nā pī‘oe a limu he nui wale. A ma kēia ‘ohana koholā ‘o ia ke koholā kahiko loa, me ke alaka‘i o ia ‘ohana. In the great big Pacific Ocean lived and dwelled some whales. The only problem between these whales was that they liked to wear beautiful and decorative items on their body. The most common thing seen was the barnacle. / Lots of whales were seen decorated with barnacles all over their bodies. Sometimes different shells were also seen attached to the whales. The richest whale was the one with the most barnacles and seaweed. In this pod of whales it was the eldest whale that was also the leader of the pod. Ua ho‘oholo kēia koholā, inā e makemake ana nā koholā e noho ma kēia ‘ohana, pono lākou e ho‘onaninani i ko lākou kino. ‘A‘ohe koholā ma kēia ‘ohana i kaula‘i ‘ole ‘ia e ka limu a i ‘ole kekahi ‘ohana pī‘oe ma ko lākou kua. Hō ka nui o ka ‘aka‘aka ma ka moana i ka wā i holo ai kēia ‘ohana a puni o ka moana. This whale decided that if the other whales wanted to live in this pod they had to decorate their bodies. There was no whale in the pod who wasn’t decorated with limu and who didn’t house a family of barnacles on his back. There was an immense amount of laughter directed at the pod whenever they went around the ocean. I kekahi lā, ua ‘ōlelo ke alaka‘i, inā ua hiki i kekahi o lākou ke ho‘onaninani aku iā ia iho i ‘oi aku kona u‘i ma muli o ke alaka‘i, e lilo ana ia koholā, i alaka‘i, ‘oiai he koholā kahiko loa ‘o ia. No laila i kēlā me kēia lā ua ho‘ā‘o nā koholā e ho‘onaninani iā lākou iho a paikau i mua o ke alaka‘i. Ho‘okahi wale nō pilikia, ‘o ia ka hiki ‘ole o ke koholā ke paikau hou no ka mea inā ‘a‘ole i ‘oi aku kona u‘i ma mua o ke alaka‘i, ua pono ‘o ia e ha‘alele a noho i kahi ‘ē One day, the leader said if one of them could dress up and be more magnificent then he was, then that whale could become the leader, since the leader was getting older. So everyday one of the whales would try and dress themselves up and parade in front of the leader. There was only one problem; the whale didn’t have a second chance. When the whale lost because he wasn’t more beautiful than the leader he had to leave and live somewhere else. Ma hope o kekahi manawa ua ha‘alele nei ka nui o nā koholā a ua emi mai nei ka nui o nā heluna koholā o kēia ‘ohana. ‘Ōlelo koke kekahi o lākou, inā ‘a‘ole lanakila kekahi o kēia mau keiki e pilikia ana ka ‘ohana a ‘a‘ole e lawa ana ka heluna o kākou e pi‘i hou i uka. No laila puka aku kekahi o nā luāhine koholā a ‘ōlelo aku i kona mau hoa aloha, ‘o ia ho‘i nā i‘a umaumalei. Nīnau aku ‘o ia iā lākou e lei aku i kāna mo‘opuna ke holo aku ‘o ia i mua o ke alaka‘i.

After awhile most of the whales of this pod were leaving. One of them quickly said, if one of these children don’t win the pod wouldn’t have enough numbers to migrate up north. So one of the old woman whales talked to her friends who were the Umaumalei. She asked them to lei her grandson when he parades in front of the leader. The next day when her grandson was swimming in front of the leader, the Umaumalei swam around and formed themselves as a lei around the neck of the whale. It was an Umaumalei lei. The nose of a fish was attached to the tail of another and it continued on in this fashion until the whale was surrounded with glittery fish. There was no comparison to the beauty of the grandson and he won. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua ho‘i hou nā koholā i hā‘ule i ke alaka‘i a laila ua holo hou ka ‘ohana i ka ‘ākau me ka palekana. After awhile the whales that lost came back and the family migrated north safely.” Kekahi ‘Ike Hou A‘e / More Information Inoa Hawai‘i: ‘Ōkohekohe, Pī‘oe, Pī‘oe‘oe / Hawaiian Name: ‘Ōkohekohe, Pī‘oe, Pī‘oe‘oe Inoa Pelekānia: Barnacles / English Name: Barnacles Inoa ‘Epekema: Class Cirripedia / Scientific Name: Class Cirripedia Kona ‘ano: Ke makua ka pī‘oe, pili pa‘a lākou i ka pōhaku a i ‘ole kekahi ‘ano mea ma kai no ko lākou ola holo‘oko‘a.

Description: When the pī‘oe is mature it attaches itself to rocks or other things in the sea for their whole life span. The organs and limbs are inside of the shell. If the shell is in bothered, everything goes into the shell and the two shells of the pī‘oe clamp together until it is closed. ‘Ikepili Hoihoi: ‘Oi aku ka pili o ka pī‘oe i ka ‘ohana ‘ōpae ma muli o ka ‘ohana ‘opihi. Ke pēpē ka pī‘oe, he mau ‘ōpae li‘ili‘i lākou e holo ana ma ke kai. Interesting Fact: The pī‘oe is more closely related to the shrimp family rather than the limpet family. When the pī‘oe are babies they look like little shrimp swimming in the water. / Ku’ula Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Tv Shutter Speed 1/60 Av / Aperture Value 5.6 ISO 100 / exposure bias F/1.0 / Shutter Speed 1/60 second / Focal Length 28.0mm / Metering Mode: Pattern / f5.6 / White Balance Cloudy
