This is one of many mine shafts that go deep into the heart of Bell Island and then these shafts run for several miles out and under the Atlantic Ocean. The mine is now closed as most of it has flooded and remains under water. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /

Gum Trees are the inspiration for this piece, color and patterning within one Tree and the smell of Gum Leaves is Awesome / Each with their own Personality, some are tall Gigantic Grandfathers, some are Strong Grandmothers some are only Babies, some are desperate for Light growing in Forests, some stand alone on a Hill or have an Ocean view all to themselves, some surrounded by Youngins, some stand apart away, some just Are, but ALL are Beautiful, giving Freely of Themselves making the Gift of Oxygen, smelling Divine, providing Beauty by just Being. / Treasure them, the colors in this piece reflect the Joy felt for Them.

Sunset Ho’okipa Beach Maui Hawai’i © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau These are true colours with no postprocessing. The beautiful pastel colours of this exquisite sunset are created by atmospheric conditions of the Vog from the volcanic activity on the Big Island. Haʻaheo ka ua i nā pali ~ Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs / Ke nihi aʻela i ka nahele ~ As it glided through the trees / E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko ~ Still following ever the bud / Pua ʻāhihi lehua o uka ~ The ʻāhihi lehua of the vale / Hui: Chorus: / Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe ~ Farewell to you, farewell to you / E ke onaona noho i ka lipo ~ The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers ~ One fond embrace, One fond embrace ~ / A hoʻi aʻe au ‘Ere ~ I depart until we meet again. Until we meet again / ʻO ka haliʻa aloha i hiki mai ~ Sweet memories come back to me / Ke hone aʻe nei i ~ Bringing fresh remembrances / Kuʻu manawa Of the past ~ ʻO ʻoe nō kaʻu ipo aloha / Dearest one, yes, you are mine own / A loko e hana nei ~ From you, true love shall never depart / Maopopo kuʻu ʻike i ka nani ~ I have seen and watched your loveliness / Nā pua rose o Maunawili ~ The sweet rose of Maunawili / I laila hiaʻia nā manu ~ And ‘tis there the birds of love dwell / Mikiʻala i ka nani o ka lipo ~ And sip the honey from your lips” Her most famous work, a song written by the last reigning Queen of Hawai’i ~ Queen Lili’uokalani (02 September 1838 – 11 November 1917) Queen Lili’uokalani was the last monarch, the last sovereign queen of the Kingdom of Hawai’i. 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 !!

This composite, a matrix panoramic image I created using four of my photographs taken on Makena Beach Maui Hawai’i. © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau Gerald May writes in The Awakened Heart ~ “There is a secret set within each of our hearts. It often goes unnoticed, we rarely can put words to it, and yet it guides us throughout the days of our lives. This secret remains hidden for the most part in our deepest selves. It is the desire for life as it was meant to be. Isn’t there a life you have been searching for all your days? You may not always be aware of your search, and there are times when you seem to have abandoned looking altogether. But again and again it returns to us, this yearning that cries out for the life we prize. It is elusive, to be sure. It seems to come and go at will. Seasons may pass until it surfaces again. And though it seems to taunt us, and may at times cause us great pain, we know when it returns that it is priceless. For if we could recover this desire, unearth it from beneath all other distractions, and embrace it as our deepest treasure, we would discover the secret of our existence. You see, life comes to all of us as a mystery. We all share the same dilemma – we long for life and we’re not sure where to find it. We wonder if we ever do find it, can we make it last? The longing for life within us seems incongruent with the life we find around us. What is available seems at times close to what we want, but never quite a fit. Our days come to us as a riddle, and the answers aren’t handed out with our birth certificates. We must journey to find the life we prize. And the guide we have been given is the desire set deep within, the desire we often overlook or mistake for something else or even choose to ignore. The greatest human tragedy is to give up the search. Nothing is of greater importance than the life of our deep heart. To lose heart is to lose everything. And if we are to bring our hearts along in our life’s journey, we simply must not, we cannot, abandon this desire.”

From my collection: Na Ka Pueo / Kiss the Earth ~ Koki Beach and Ka Iwi ‘O Pele, Maui Hawai’i / © 2008 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Anne Mau The iron rich red volcanic sand of beautiful Koki Beach, Hana Maui Hawai’i One of my favourite beaches on Maui in Hana near Hamoa. This beautiful red sand beach is about one mile from Hana on Haneo’o Road. On Highway 31, over a half mile past Mile Marker 51 beyond Hana town, you’ll come to a road on the makai side of the highway named Haneo’o Road. The hill is actually an eroding cinder cone known as Ka Iwi ‘o Pele (the bones of Pele). Driving down Haneo’o Road, the rugged cliffs give way to a beautiful coastal view. As you continue down towards the shore you will see the beautiful ‘Alau Island offshore. About 100 yards down the road as it starts to level off, you’ll notice a pull off to the left. This is the Koki Beach overlook. From here you can also get an excellent view of ‘Alau Island with its swaying palms directly offshore. This beautiful area has been reclaimed by the Hawaiian Kingdom Government and that is a good thing. Look to your left and you’ll also be able to view a lava sea arch in the distance on the rocky coast. Use extreme caution when swimming. There are dangerous rip tides! Take Highway 360 past Hana. Turn left on Haneo’o Road. Koki Beach is the first beach on the left. “Some historians claim that sometime around the fourth or fifth century A.D., the first planned migrations came from the Marquesas, in extreme eastern Polynesia. For five centuries the Marquesans settled and lived peacefully on the new land – Hawai’i. Around 1,200 A.D., the Tahitians arrived and subjugated the settled islanders. Tahitian customs, legends, and language influenced the Hawaiian way of life.” “Walk and touch peace every moment. / Walk and touch happiness every moment. / Each step brings a fresh breeze. / Each step makes a flower bloom. / Kiss the Earth with your feet. / Bring the Earth your love and happiness. / The Earth will be safe when we feel safe in ourselves.” / By Thich Nhat Hanh

this simple media piece…I don’t think I used but paint and pencil in this one…..was painted as a LOVE of mine….a projection of mine. His reflection…. one of solid presence projecting strength balance care space truth…..holder of HOME. Like I said, he WAS for me to see these qualities in myself. Now I can thank him. It has taken me some time….. From his heart flowers emerge to greet meet so sweet …from his head hand reaches to stars….is he from mars…..since he spoke so often of the wars….of the sexes….mind vexes….or maybe it’s ‘cause I’m from Texas? The distance definitely sweetens this dream…...

long beach, washington i took this photo some time ago, but somehow it was lost in the mix. the sky changed so many colors within a short time that night – it was incredible. the colors combined with the reflections created by low tide made a feast for the eyes. as well as a clam feast later. ;-) www.elliewinds.com

The Land Where Souls Play ~ Pa’ia Beach Maui Hawai’i © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau “An awakening to dawn mist on the water, / flowing Spirit’s streams to God’s alter, / purifying essence whistles through the trees, / images of the sacred blowing in the breeze. / Flights of fancy from birds up high, / feathers of many colours filtering through the sky, sun, moon and stars envelops Earth’s dome, / we’re all birds of a feather, finding our way home. Spectacle of mesmerizing movements flashing in the mind, / melting pots of humans, secrets hard to find, love all embracing whispers on the wind, no physical presence, ecstasy from a light dimmed. Gifts of joy enmeshed in music and dance, visualizing images filtering in a trance, warriors in a drumbeat at journeys end, back to the womb of creation enmeshed in a substance blend. Wondrous dreams in the stillness of the dark, journey on uplifting voyages in paradise park, thunder and lightening points the way, a prelude to the land where Soul’s play.” Poetry by Michael Levy

This is a composite of my images of Ka’ikena O’Iao Valley, West Maui, Hawai’i. © 2007 – 2008 Sharon A Mau ~ Mahalo! ~ EARTH VOICES by: Bliss Carman (1861-1929) / “I heard the spring wind whisper / Above the brushwood fire, / The world is made forever / Of transport and desire. / “I am the breath of being, / The primal urge of things; / I am the whirl of star dust, / I am the lift of wings. / I am the splendid impulse / That comes before the thought, / The joy and exaltation / Wherein the life is caught. / Across the sleeping furrows I call the buried seed, / And blade and bud and blossom / Awaken at my need. / Within the dying ashes I blow the sacred spark, / And make the hearts of lovers / To leap against the dark. / I heard the spring light whisper / Above the dancing stream, / The world is made forever / In likeness of a dream. / I am the law of planets, / I am the guide of man / The evening and the morning are fashioned to my plan. / I tint the dawn with crimson, / I tinge the sea with blue / My track is in the desert, / My trail is in the dew. / I paint the hills with colour, / And in my magic dome / I light the star of evening to steer the traveller home. / Within the house of being, / I feed the lamp of truth / With tales of ancient wisdom and prophecies of youth. / I heard the spring rain murmur / Above the roadside flower, / The world is made forever / In melody and power. / I keep the rhythmic measure that marks the steps of time, / And all my toil is fashioned / To symmetry and rhyme. / I plow the untilled upland, / I ripe the seeding grass, / And fill the leafy forest with music as I pass. / I hew the raw, rough granite / To loveliness of line, / And when my work is finished, / Behold, it is divine! / I am the master-builder In whom the ages trust. / I lift the lost perfection to blossom from the dust. / Then Earth to them made answer, / As with a slow refrain / Born of the blended voices / Of wind and sun and rain, / This is the law of being / That links the threefold chain: / The life we give to beauty / Returns to us again.”
