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 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!
Polynesia is the birth place of surfing, wave sliding. Still today the islands are the object of every surfers obsession, the power and beauty of the pacific swells.
Afternoons are the signal to relax and enjoy the night ahead, aybe a walk on the beach or a long dinner and conversation with friends and family – the choice is yours!
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.
A veritable seaside cauldron of stone nearly boiling over with the rising tides at sunset near Kihei with the West Maui Mountains capped by clouds in the distance.

Jesus was probably really good at surfing.

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.
The Old Salt Barn on Ka’ono’ulu Ranch is fixin’ to fall down any day now, the owner told me. And so I made this old building my priority. Shooting HDR style, was able to capture the full glory of the UpCountry Maui sunset.
“Celebrate Life” is the loose translation of my photo. So CELEBRATE!
We were treated to one gorgeous sunset after another in Kauai. I love this photo because you can see someone enjoying themself in the hammock, while another person just sits in the chair, soaking in the beauty. This was the kind of sunset that just stopped everyone in their tracks and took all of our breath away!!!!! Nikon D200, Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens Please check out my calendar – SIMPLY SUNSETS
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.
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.
