Colourful Macaw / Puohokamoa Valley / The Garden of Eden / Maui Hawai`i © 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau There are about 10,000 species of birds from all over the world. Surprisingly, birds often have distinct preferences for men or women, and can be quite unwilling to change their minds. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

On the Island of Maui, we have several huge cattle ranches. The Hawai’ian cowboys are called “paniolos”, and are world famous for their ranch skills. This man, Kekiwi, is a life-long paniolo. I photographed him near the tack barn on Ka’ono’ulu Ranch. I shot this using my Mimaya 6×7 on TMX film. The original print is colored by hand using marshall oils. The title, “Day’s End”, is actually the English translation of my Hawai’ian title, “Pau Hana”.

© Sharon Anne Mau 13 December 2008 12:21:19 / Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/200 / Av( Aperture Value ) 6.3 / ISO Speed 100 9.7 miles west of Kula Botanical Gardens entrance is Waipoli Road off Kekaulike Avenue (Highway 377). / This area is 6,200 feet above sea level in the Kula Forest Reserve. Polipoli Springs is an upcountry park with towering trees and stunning views of the Maui lowlands and the neighboring islands of Lana’i and Kaho’olawe. Paragliding is a recreational and competitive flying sport. A paraglider is a free-flying, foot-launched aircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing. The pilot is loosely and comfortably buckled into a harness which offers support in both the standing and sitting positions. Modern harnesses are designed to be as comfortable as a lounge chair in the sitting position. Many harnesses even have an adjustable ‘lumbar support’. A reserve parachute is also typically connected to a paragliding harness. Brakes: Controls held in each of the pilot’s hands connect to the trailing edge of the left and right sides of the wing. These controls are called ‘brakes’ and provide the primary and most general means of control in a paraglider. The brakes are used to adjust speed, to steer (in addition to weight-shift), and flare (during landing). Weight Shift: In addition to manipulating the brakes, a paraglider pilot must also lean in order to steer properly. Such ‘weight-shifting’ can also be used for more limited steering when brake use is unavailable, such as when under ‘big ears’ (see below). More advanced control techniques may also involve weight-shifting. Speed Bar: A kind of foot control called the ‘speed bar’ (also ‘accelerator’) attaches to the paragliding harness and connects to the leading edge of the paraglider wing, usually through a system of at least two pulleys (see animation in margin). This control is used to increase speed, and does so by decreasing the wing’s angle of attack. This control is necessary because the brakes can only slow the wing from what is called ‘trim speed’ (no brakes applied). The accelerator is needed to go faster than this. More advanced means of control can be obtained by manipulating the paraglider’s risers or lines directly: Most commonly, the lines connecting to the outermost points of the wing’s leading edge can be used to induce the wingtips to fold under. The technique, known as ‘big ears’, is used to increase rate of descent (see picture). / The risers connecting to the rear of the wing can also be manipulated for steering if the brakes have been severed or are otherwise unavailable. / In a ‘B-line stall’, the second set of risers from the leading-edge/front is gently pulled down to put a crease across the lower surface of the wing (this will also distort the upper surface) acting as an ‘air brake’ significantly reducing airspeed. The combination of reduced forward airspeed and increased vertical airspeed destroys the laminar flow of air over the aerofoil, dramatically reducing the lift produced by the canopy, thus inducing a higher rate of descent. / Paragliding

Hale ‘o Pi’ilani Heiau / Hana Maui Hawai’i / 03 May 2009 / Fine Art Photography by Sharon Anne Mau / / This is an unedited image straight from the camera “The grounds of the amazing Kahanu Gardens are also the site of Pi’ilanihale Heiau, the largest temple in Hawai’i, with a volcanic stone platform reaching 450ft in length. The history of this astounding heiau is shrouded in mystery, but there’s no doubt that it was an important religious site for Hawaiians. Archaeologists believe construction began as early as AD 1200 and the heiau was built in sequences. The final grand scale was the work of Pi’ilani (the heiau’s name means House of Pi’ilani), the 14th-century Maui chief who is also credited with the construction of many of the coastal fishponds in the Hana area.” Information Source Lonely Planet Part of the 472 acre Kahanu Garden, the massive Pi’ilanihale Heiau, a structure constructed of lava rocks with immense tiered walls and terraces, is believed to be the largest ancient place of worship in Polynesia. Originally built in the 13th century, the heiau was extended by the High Chief Pi’ilani who came from West Maui in 1570 and conquered the chiefs of the fertile Hana area.

i ‘Okika Honohono / Lovely Orchids blooming at our friends home ~ Kappy and Bully Ho’opai ~ Hana Maui Hawai’i There are many wonderful websites with information on Orchids. There are many groups, clubs and societies and over 20,000 varieties. Many orchids have succulent characteristics. They store water and nutrients in pseudobulbs, leaves and/or other parts of their anatomy. Fresh orchids and other tropical flowers create a unique tropical atmosphere perfect for a traditional or modern wedding theme here on Maui and are very beautiful woven into Haku Lei. Hardy terrestrial orchids include some the rarest & showiest perennials for the garden. These deciduous plants are indigenous to the temperate zones Eurasia and North America. They require woodland conditions for cultivation, preferring shade to part-shade and rich, well-draining soil; somewhat moist. Hardy orchids bloom at 3 – 6 years of age, depending upon the species.
