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!
Golden rays of sunshine as the sun sinks below the horizon and the water and sky turn shades of purple and blue.
View of the beach in its expanse.  There was a shark sighting here around the time I was photographing apparently.  I didn't see anything.
Beautiful sunset as the horizon turns purple at Ala Moana Beach Park May 5, 2012.
Different crop of the super wide view of Ala Moana Beach park at sunset.  This one shows more sand.
