Hawaii: Photo Overload

A few days ago I got back from a week vacation to Hawai'i, the island and state. This is the second time to the state, last time going to Kauai. And this time I had the better planning and preparation to avoid the malfunctioning camera incident that hit me when I went to Kauai. There isn't much to say about Hawai'i other than if you have a very short list of places to visit before you die, put it on your list. Now since I took a lot of pictures, 447 just on my digital puny camera, it took a few days (5) to just process them into a shape I could post 138 of those. And obviously it's going to take some time to blog about them all. But if you are impatient you can find them all on the photo section of my home pages. The only warning about this set of images, is that they are big, so stretch your browser window as much as you can to really enjoy the views. So a big aloha, from the bottom of Honaunau Bay, to you and keep on reading to see the rest of the photos...

Even though Honaunau Bay was the second snorkeling day, and the third full day on the island, I'll continue with the photos from that. First up is a closeup of the "O" in the cinder block aloha arranged at the bottom of the bay, towards the north end if you are lucky to make it there:

If you've done any ocean swimming, snorkeling, diving, surfing, whatever you probably already know that going out with a partner to watch your back in case of emergencies is a really good thing. So here's the only shot of John, the only other person in our group brave enough to go snorkeling. For the rest of the underwater images this should fit as a good scale of the underwater world. Saying it's big is an understatement!

And for the rest... I'm not going to avoid blabbing about the pictures since other it would take me months to post them all here. But I do suggest that if you are interested in finding out what some of the underwater life is called, consult the very handy Keoki & Yuko Stender MarinelifePhotography site.
