A view of Makapu'u beach and the Waimanalo coastline from the lookout on the Makapu'u trail hike.
A random tree as you reach the top of the Makapu'u trail.  It's windy right at this spot which provides a nice cool down from the hot, blazing sun.
Whitewash.  This photo was taken from high up of a rock getting slammed by the waves below.  If I were lower and closer to the scene I would have done a long exposure but at this height, I just wanted to capture the beautiful blue colors and the spray as it rolled over the rocks.
Lighthouse.  Just a random view of the lighthouse half way up the trail...well a little more than half way :)  The ocean seems so endless.
This is what the Makapu'u lighthouse looks like from the top of the hike in the gusty wind as I slightly hang my camera on the side of the railing to get an unobstructed view of the lighthouse.  The water was so blue that day.  What a blessing!
Lovely view of the iconic Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head in the distance.  As the sun goes down, the colors turn more blue and the glow of the lights from the streets and hotels illuminate everything perfectly.  Taken from the 31st floor of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Rainbow Tower.
Sunset overlooking Waikiki with a view of Diamond Head as the lights from the streets and hotels begin to twinkle.
