"Power"
Kaihalulu Beach, Hana, Maui

Part waterfall, part stormy sea, this oceanscape exudes the force of the waves that have broken through the few remaining stands of rocks that dare stand in the way. The red sand beaches that surround this scene make the blue-green water glow in contrast.
"Moving Mountains"
Kawela Bay, North Shore of Oahu

Enormous winter waves crash like thunder into the bay on the North Shore of Oahu, painted in orange by the setting sun.
"Tune Up Needed"
Kalaupapa, Molokai

It won’t get you anywhere and it can’t even keep you dry. But, if this old car could talk, who wouldn’t want to hear its stories?
"Expectations"
Kaihalulu Beach, Hana, Maui

If you believe that some color combinations don’t coexist in nature, then it’s time for you to go exploring! The red sand on this beach, formed by the crumbling cinder cone around it, meets the ocean surf to create color contrasts that boggle the mind.
"A Journey Ends"
Koki Beach, Hana, Maui

A wave gently washing ashore comes into your awareness at the moment its long journey reaches an end.
"Inevitably Blue"
Lanikai Beach, Oahu

As the sun rises over the Mokulua Islands (Moku Nui shown here), it paints the ocean in brilliant shades of yellow and orange for a few short minutes. Soon after this photograph was taken, that palette yielded to Lanikai’s relentless greens and blues.
"On the Ranch"
Lanai City, Lanai

If you’ve never been to the island of Lanai, then you might not guess this seen is in Hawaii. At an elevation well over one thousand feet, the ranches surrounding Lanai City have cool, crisp, evening air, perfect for walking in the woods and horseback riding.
"Honu at Rest"
Kahuwai Bay, Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii

Settling into position on a volcanic black sand beach, this Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, or “honu”, needs its rest before heading back out to sea. Turtles are migratory animals that travel thousands of miles in the open ocean. Their anatomy has hardly changed in millions of years, since the time of the dinosaurs.
"Perpetual Wind"
The Pali Lookout, Oahu

For thousands of miles over the ocean, the trade winds blow unimpeded until suddenly the Ko’olau mountains force them upwards at incredible speeds. The mighty trees that bravely stand atop these peaks are constantly battered, bending and twisting so as to reveal the true force of the power of nature.
