The view from from Pu’u Ahumoa

A view of Maui and a wandering tattler
A wandering tattler flies along the Kohala coast on a bright breezy day. What’s notable about this photo is that it was taken in the afternoon and Maui is visible. The reason for that can be seen in the waves. They’re coming from the west to northwest. Waves were from the northeast are driven by the usual northeasterly trades, and those winds would have pushed cloud cover across Maui by this time of day.

Clouds over Waimea
Seen from the lower slopes of Mauna Kea, a blanket of cloud climbs over the Kohala Mountains and Waimea, but Maui is still visible in the background.

Maui stands out above puffy clouds and long, low swell.
Memorial on the coast
As is the case in many places, the Big Island is home to a variety of memorials, put in place and maintained by loved ones. Many can be seen by the side of highways, marking the spot where a life ended.
I don’t know the story behind this one, but it’s a beautiful, peaceful spot with its view across the ʻAlenuihāhā Channel to Maui.
Rolling down the channel
A sailboat rolls down the Alenuihaha Channel under only a mainsail as Maui pokes through the clouds in the background.
