Kawaihae Harbor from the air
This view of Kawaihae Harbor shows the main harbor with its wharf on the left and breakwater on the right. Close to the breakwater are several boats on buoys and the military’s landing ramp and staging area. On the upper right is the relatively new small boat harbor, home to about 25 small boats.
Bottom left is the old small boat harbor which is mostly used for launching small boats and canoes these days, after a storm breached the small breakwater protecting it.
Abstracts: More ripples
Another image of ripples in the water of ʻAimakapā Fishpond at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park.
Art on the rocks
A while back, my local snorkel spot suddenly sprouted these colorful aquatic murals on some of the crumbling surfaces around the parking area. Not sure who was responsible, but I quite like them.
Pink plumerias
Pink plumeria flowers stand out against the tree’s large green leaves in North Kohala.
Signs: Danger
Apparently, this sign didn’t take its own advice.
Sailboat on a mooring buoy
I liked how, in this predominantly blue scene, the burgundy sail covers of this catamaran matched the mooring buoy it was attached to off the South Kohala coast.
Colorful sea creatures
The ocean is full of strange, but colorful sea creatures including these seen in the sheltered waters of Kawaihae.
