Abstracts: Sunlight shafts
On a recent swim, the water was churned up with lots of particles floating about and poor visibility. But I was taken with how the sun sent swirling shafts of light down toward deeper water.
Abstracts: Reflections
These lights are on most of the time in the house, but I liked how they reflected in the overlapping kitchen windows.
Posted in response to this week’s Sunday Stills challenge on the theme of ‘Reflect.’ See more offerings on this theme here.
Abstracts: Reflections
Reflections in the windows of a helicopter over the ʻAlenuihāhā Channel, between the Big Island and Maui.
Abstracts: Roads and lava
Cutting through the lava between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are these two roads. The lower one is Saddle Road, the upper one a road leading to the military base at Pōhakuloa Training Area.
Abstracts: Clouds on the water
Another photo from my helicopter trip to Maui a few weeks ago. This shows clouds casting shadows on the choppy waters of the ʻAlenuihāhā Channel, between the Big Island and Maui.
Abstracts: Padina japonica
Padina japonica is a kind of seaweed which is found in tide pools. I love it’s creamy curled shape.
Abstracts: Mauna Loa lava flows
These lava flows, on the northeast slopes of Mauna Loa, show some of the colors lava takes. Together with the untouched islands of vegetation and cloud shadows, I think they make an interesting patterned landscape.
