War Between The Worlds The noise, the deafening noise. / A battle rages to my north. / Armies of ships fall to my side, / weighing on my heart for those inside. / The metal torn and burned, the sound / of electricity courses through my veins. / Waves of terror surround me, while those / untouched and safe know nothing. / The coming of time, sets the pace for a new era. / Like beasts of armour they wheel fate, / determination to break through the barriers / that separate them from us. / The trumpets wail, and wings fall. / The masters reproach treads near. / The bow breaks and the floodgates of peril, / wash over us, drowning the luminating heat of despair / The finale draws near as I’m blinded by glorious light, stars fall from their designation, / The universe goes silent, the darkness, the nothingness, my mind slows, I fall…..

This is the beautiful beach of Ho’okipa on a bright and shiny day. Kahakuloa may be seen in the distance as well as the lovely island of Moloka’i on the horizon. Ho’okipa is very popular and is just a short drive from our home upcountry. It is also quite famous as one of the wind surfing capitols of the world. It is here you will also see the beautiful Honu feeding nearby in the evenings and early mornings, and Hawaiian Monk Seals occasionally basking in the sun. If you do see them, please maintain a good safe distance as these beautiful creatures are endangered and are protected. On a bright sunny day with good clear atmospheric conditions, the ocean on this side of the island is a glorious aquamarine blue. I also enjoy watching and photographing the sunsets from Ho’okipa in summer as the sun is setting over West Maui and Kahakuloa. During winter the sun is setting on the opposite side of the island over Kaho’olawe. In winter you may also see the magnificent Humpback Whales from Ho’okipa, that is always a thrill. There are strong currents and rip tides here in this channel so if you plan on swimming I do hope you are experienced. And of course there is a long bench of coral reef called a Papa and many volcanic lava rocks, some smooth and some quite sharp, so you must know where you going to enter the water. Here in this area along Maui’s beautiful North Shore the ocean is clean and clear and absolutely delicious. I much prefer to swim in the tide pools on the opposite end of the beach. It is much safer there. I only need to remember to wear shoes as there are many sea urchins.

Also known as Pa’ako Beach, Makena Secret Cove and Wedding Beach. It is a lovely secluded beach favourited for hosting small wedding ceremonies. It is most importantly a protected area favoured by the locals for relaxing and enjoy the evening with the children while swimming and net fishing in the shallow crystal clear tide pools among the lava rocks, snorkeling and deep sea fishing. Many paddle out in their canoes to drop their lines in the ocean. ~ Hawaiian Chant ~ E ala e.

Ballyshannon Estury Sunset, by Cat-Art. / © Cat-Art. Ballyshannon, which means “The Mouth of Seannach’s Ford”, after a fifth century warrior Seannach, who was slain here, lies at the mouth of the river Erne. Just west of the town the Erne widens and its waters meander over a long sandy estuary. The northern bank of the river rises steeply away from the riverbank, while the southern bank is flat with a small cliff that runs parallel to the river. From its idyllic setting the town looks out over the estuary and has panoramic views of mountains, lakes and forests.

THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVERS / 110 X 160 cm canvas. / For details see it in a large view. The Fool comes to a cross-road, filled with energy, confidence and purpose, knowing exactly where he wants to go and what he wants to do. But he comes to a dead stop. A flowering tree marks the path he wants to take, the one he’s been planning on taking. But standing before a fruit tree marking the other path is a woman. He’s met and had relationships with women before, some far more beautiful and alluring. But she is different. Seeing her, he feels as though he’s just been shot in the heart with cupid’s arrow, so shocking, so painful is his “recognition” of her. As he speaks with her, the feeling intensifies; like finding a missing part of himself, a part he’s been searching for his life long. It is clear that she feels the same about him. They finish each others sentences, think the same thoughts. It is as if an Angel above had introduced their souls to each other. Though it was his plan to follow the path of the flowering tree, and though it will cause some trouble for him to bring this woman with him, to go somewhere else entirely, the Fool knows he dare not leave her behind. Like the fruit tree, she will fulfill him. No matter how divergent from his original intent, she is his future. He chooses her, and together they head down a whole new road.

E malama ‘ia na pono o ka ‘aina e na ‘opio / Hawaiian Translation: / The traditions of the land are perpetuated by its youth From my collection: / Napo’o ‘ana o ka la / These beautiful colours are created by Vog, atmospheric conditions from volcanic activity on the Big Island which affects Maui. / Sunset Ho’okipa Maui Hawai’i / Currently with 1459+ Views The West Maui, Mauna Kahalewai and Hale Mahina mountains are older than Haleakala – more eroded, lush, and alive. Mauna Kahalewai mountains of West Maui are sacred and known to Kanaka Maoli (indigenous Hawaiians) as a legendary place of the past, what is known as Wahi Pani according to Kupuna Charles Kauluwehi Maxwell. The highest peak of these mountains is Pu’u Kukui at 5,788 feet. ‘Iao Valley is the most famous valley of this mountain range visible in this image shrouded by dense cloud cover at the far left on the horizon. Kahakuloa is on the right and the island of Moloka’i is on the horizon on the right shrouded in dense cloud cover. “Vog is a portmanteau of the words “volcanic” and “smog,” and a volcanic smog is formed when sulfur dioxide and other gases emitted by an erupting volcano mix with oxygen and moisture in the presence of sunlight. The term is most often applied to the island of Hawaiʻi, where the Kīlauea volcano has been erupting continuously since 1983. Kīlauea emits an estimated 2,000 tons of vog every day. Vog is a volcanic mixture that includes gases and aerosols which react with oxygen, moisture, and sunlight.” Here is an interesting story in the New York Times just one week after I took this photograph Information from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Hawaiian Vog: Where There’s Smoke – There is Something Brewing Copyright 2009 – 2010 © Sharon Mau / My images do not belong to the public domain.

It is perhaps the most renowned windsurfing site in the world, The waves here are largest during the winter, and break across a system of reefs that extend across the bay. During the summer the waves are smaller. Ho’okipa is ideal for windsurfing because of its large well-shaped waves and strong winds. The name Ho‘okipa means “hospitality” in Hawaiian. While ever-present strong winds and powerful currents do not make the beach a place for beginners, experienced surfers and windsurfers continually flock to Ho’okipa for both recreation and windsurfing competitions. There are four distinct surf breaks at Ho’okipa. Pavilions is the break furthest east, off the lookout parking. West from it, facing the main parking, is Middles break. Usually these are both left to surfers. The area between the two, which catches fewer breaking sets, is sometimes referred to as Girlie Bowl or Green Trees. Next further west, facing the lifeguard tower and the narrow sand beach launch, is H‘Poko or Point. It is the most popular break for windsurfing, and generally breaks as a right. With the prevailing trade wind direction being east to east-north-east, this is most frequently down-the-line sailing on starboard tack (wind from right when standing on the beach). Yet further west, past the rocky point, is Lanes, which generally breaks as a left. Under relatively rare conditions, known as Kona, the prevailing winds become southwest, and Lanes is ridden down-the-line on Port tack (wind from left when standing on the beach). This only occurs a few days out of every year. Ho’okipa Beach is occasionally a tourist attraction in the winter time because of spectacularly large surf. In the afternoon on 15 December 2004, for example, many tourists visited the beach to see waves as large as 30 feet pound the shore. This year on 08 December 2009 the waves were over 30 feet and the surf so rough the beach was closed. Officials warn visitors to stay away from the water, as the surf may be very deadly. Despite this, Ho’okipa is not an ideal site for true big-wave riding, as the waves close out when their faces approach about 25 feet. During such episodes, other deep-water breaks offer more rideable waves, an example of which is Jaws, offshore Pe’ahi, Maui, which is a very short drive from Ho’okipa.
