A large formation of Lava rock off the coast of Kihei on Maui, Hawaii turned into a boiling sinking cauldron by the rising tides flowing in from above and below. The water level on this cauldron would rise and fall as much as 6 feet with the ebb and flow of the waves. I was fascinated by this marvel of nature and creation.
The setting sun adds color to slice of beach off the South coast of Maui near Lahaina. The ebb flow of the rising tides evident in the foreground where the water is ebbing and middle where a waves begins to curl as it comes ashore

A bit of sunrise light over the West Maui Mountains and Lanai and a powerful sea ebbing and flowing over the rugged lava rock off the coast of Kihei. The way the ocean seemed to fold before me as I stood on rock had me in awe of the beauty of nature
A golden beach near Lahaina glowing in the light of the setting sun as a gnarled Banyan Tree appears to reach for drink in the rising tide.
Elvis had his Blue Hawaii in 1964. In 2008 we present to you Blue Sunset a different vibe totally minus the brill cream as well, though still ready to relax out with a ukelele or two!
A cleat left from a jetty long since eroded and swept away by the tides on a South Maui Beach with the sacred island of Kahoolawe bathing in the light of the rising sun.
A lone tree on the South coast of Maui near Lahaina seems to be in danger of being swept out to sea by the ebbing tides at sunset.
The Alien landscape inside the creater of Haleakala on Maui, Hawaii as the sun rises over the horizon. IT was freezing cold up there with a temp of about 40 and winds of 25mph or more. We got up at 3AM to make it there for sunrise and watched the temp drop almost 40 degrees as we made out ascent.
The cauldron full to the brim and ready to boil over as the sun sets of the Mountains of West Maui in the Hawaiian Islands.

As I crawled from my tent with blurred eyes, I could see that the sun was going to rise perfectly behind Alau Island. This image was unplanned, yet a perfectly wonderful stroke of luck.
A lone tree anchors the coast and braces for the impact of another wave of the incoming tide as it crashes ashore at sunset near Lahaina on Maui.

Through the limitless lands and times / Through the uncountable stars / You are gazing at me. I look up towards thee! / All noise ceased in silence / All worlds absorbed in deep peace / Alone / You are! / Alone / I am / within, fearless!” ~ Poetry and Songs by Rabindranath Tagore’ Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
It is a rare occasion when there is no wind blowing the palms, and there are enough clouds over the ocean to create a dramatic sunset at this location. I spent a week’s worth of evenings in this area before the conditions set up perfectly. Technically this is a series of 5 long exposures layered. I was using a 10mm lens on my little Canon XTi. It worked. This beach is in an area where there will soon be plenty of new construction, sadly. The “old” Maui is slipping away, and it breaks my heart. I hope images like this will preserve the pristine flavor for future generations.

Rabbit Island and Flat Island sit just offshore and makes this beach a picturesque beauty. High surf, fierce shore break, and strong undertoe often occur during the winter months which can make this beach a hazardous place Nikon D90 As is / Nikkor lens 18-200 VR
