Soaking in the Sunshine in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii

Last month I spent a weekend in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. I left the paradise of San Diego, California for the paradise of the Hawaiian Islands. For all of you who are enduring the winter weather right now my sincere apologies.

 

I made this photograph as the sun was setting along Ali’i Drive along the coast of the beach town of Kailua-Kona. That building jutting out onto Kailua Bay is the Royal Kona Resort Hotel where I happen to be staying. From my lanai (Hawaiian word for patio or balcony) I scouted this location where I met this young lady. I asked her if she could strike a pose for me and so she put one hand on her face and put one leg over the other.

 

You got to make a photograph, not simply take it.

 

Thanks guys for all your views, comments and favs and for my Flickr friends in cold weather think warm thoughts!

 

Happy Travels!
