Hiro ~ Pa mai pa mai ka makani nui o Hilo Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Sunset Ho’okipa Maui North Shore Hawai’i “THE INDIAN GYPSY by: Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) / “In tattered robes that hoard a glittering trace / Of bygone colours, broidered to the knee, / Behold her, / daughter of a wandering race, / Tameless, / with the bold falcon’s agile grace, / And the lithe tiger’s sinuous majesty. With frugal skill her simple wants she tends, / She folds her tawny heifers and her sheep / On lonely meadows when the daylight ends, / Ere the quick night upon her flock descends / Like a black panther from the caves of sleep. Time’s river winds in foaming centuries / Its changing, swift, irrevocable course To far off and incalculable seas; She is twin-born with primal mysteries, And drinks of life at Time’s forgotten source.” Poetry by Sarojini Naidu 1879 – 1949 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

One of my favourite beaches to photograph the sunrise and sunset. Ho’okipa Beach, along the Hana Highway on Maui’s North Shore is one of the best wind and kite surfing beaches in the world! A beautiful place to watch the professionals and to swim in the tidepools as the ocean is so clean and pure. View of Mauna Kahalawai, West Maui, Kahului Harbour and Wailuku from the Ho’okipa overlook on the east side of the beach. Note the single tall Coconut Palm tree. Many of the palms, keawe and other trees along the beaches on the north shore were uprooted due to a severe storm with high winds winter 2007.

Featured Member’s Choice Outdoors ~ Forests 04 September 2007 ~ Ironwood Trees rooted in the lava rocks of Kauiki Hill, Hana Bay / Maui Hawaii “You do not have to be good. / You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, / yours, / and I will tell you mine. / Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting over and over announcing your place in the family of things.” ~ from Dream Work by Mary Oliver

Poponi Maui Hawai’i / On the wild beautiful North Shore of Maui near Lower Nahiku Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “You will find me, / Though I change my name And move into the country, / Withdraw to the dark. You will find me / Should I change my form / And swim with fish In the deepest sea. You will find me / Should I fly from this world / And soar to distant galaxies / Laughing at the trail of stars I leave in my wake. You will find me, / Should I run into the distant hills / And camouflage myself In the deep, purple heather. Yes, / You will find me, / For your task consumes you / As my longing echoes to you / Through this world’s misty places. There could be no escape, / For our futures have been / Forged in spiritual steel, / Sealed in my spirit’s blood. Leave your place and work. / Set out on your best adventure. / Too much time has passed. Hear my voice on the wind. / I will look for you / As you come to find me, For we are one and the same, / Soulmates, / awaiting discovery.” / Poetry by Alison Stormwolf Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Ho’okipa E ola ka ‘olelo Hawai’i Hawaiian Translation: / The Hawaiian Language Shall Live Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Ho’okipa Maui North Shore Early Morning Light Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Ho`okipa (hoh-oh-KEE-pah): The concept of hospitality is common to many cultures, but many people feel that Ho`okipa is different because of its broad meaning. Ho`okipa is meant to be given freely to all, and is not reserved for friends, neighbors or family. When a person is on the receiving end of ho`okipa, it is like receiving a tremendous gift. Aloha (AH-loh-hah): Aloha means hello, love, mercy, compassion, pity, or goodbye. More importantly, it is an expression of the heart. It is much deeper than this actually and I will provide more information on the meaning of Aloha soon. My husband and I are driving down the mountain soon to have dinner with family near Wailea. To all our ohana and friends / Mahalo nui for your kindness. / Aloha e Malama pono, Sharon

Mala Wharf / Mala Wharf / Species found at Maui Mala Wharf Island of Lānaʻi on the horizon / 05 March 2009 “Lānaʻi has been under the control of nearby Maui since before recorded history. The first inhabitants of this island may have arrived as late as the 15th century. According to the Hawaiian legends, man-eating spirits occupied the island before that time. For generations, Maui chiefs believed in these man-eating spirits. Depending on which legend one follows either the prophet Lanikāula drove the spirits from the island or the unruly Maui prince Kauluāʻau accomplished that heroic feat. The more popular myth is that the mischievous Kauluāʻau pulled up every breadfruit tree he could find on Maui. Finally his father, Kakaʻalaneo had to banish him to Lānaʻi, expecting him not to survive in that hostile place. However Kauluāʻau was able to outwit the spirits and drive them from the island. The chief looked across the channel from Maui and saw that his son’s fire continued to burn nightly on the shore, and he sent a canoe to Lānaʻi to bring the prince, redeemed by his courage and his cleverness, back home to Maui. As a reward, Kauluāʻau was given control of the island and he encouraged immigration from other islands. True to himself Kauluāʻau had, in the meantime, pulled up all the Ulu, breadfruit trees on Lānaʻi, accounting for the lack of breadfruit on that island. The name Lānaʻi is of uncertain origin, but the island has historically been called Lānaʻi o Kauluāʻau. One theory is that the phrase means “day of the conquest of Kauluāʻau.” The first people to migrate here, most likely from Maui and Molokaʻi, probably established fishing villages along the coast initially but later branched out into the interior where they raised taro in the fertile volcanic soil. During most of those times, the Moʻi of Maui held dominion over Lānaʻi. Even today, Lānaʻi is part of the County of Maui, but apparently the Maui leaders primarily left the people of Lānaʻi to their own devices. Life on Lānaʻi remained relatively calm until King Kamehameha I or Kalaniʻōpuʻu-a-Kaiamamao came over to take control, slaughtering people on every part of the island. So many were killed that when Captain George Vancouver sailed past the island in 1792, he didn’t bother to land because of Lānaʻi’s apparent lack of villages and population. It is mentioned that Lānaʻi was the favourite fishing spot of Kamehameha out of all the eight islands.

Green Pool in the William Bay National Park, near the town of Denmark and about 450 kms south of Perth, Western Australia. You wouldn’t get much closer to paradise than this! Calm water make it the perfect swimming spot and the firm sands make it a most delightful beach for walking or just paddling. The off shore reefs provide shelter from the sometimes unpredictable Southern Ocean and the rocks along the beach make ideal, well sheltered, picnic places.
