A view of Koko Crater, Hawaii from the top of Diamond Head Volcano State Monument across the Maunalua Bay. It's part of Koko Head Park. Diamond Head is also known as Mount Leahi. The trail is only .7 miles but it's a 560 feet up. The trail is decent with about 260 steps and various grades that can get slick if wet. The view of Koko Head, Waikiki beach and downtown are worth the climb. - #KokoHead #Hawaii #view #ViewFromDiamondHead #volcano #DiamondHeadStateMonument #MountLeahi #KokoCrater #MaunaluaBay #landscape #paysages #Landschaft #景色
Kuliou'ou Ridge Trail, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii
Stitch of 4 shots of the Eastern end of the Island of Oahu, which is the most populated island of the State of Hawaii and where the capitol of the State, Honolulu, is located.
On the right side of the photo is Hawaii Kai, which the Eastern most end of City of Honolulu, while the left side of the photo is an area called Waimanalo. The only the ridge in the middle of the photo separates the two areas.
Koko Crater (Hawaiian: Kohelepelepe or Puʻu Mai) is an extinct tuff cone located on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu near Hawaiʻi Kai. It is a part of the Honolulu Volcanics, which were craters that formed as vents of the Koʻolau Volcano during its rejuvenation stage. During World War II, the U.S. military built bunkers on top of Koko Crater with a railroad leading to its summit. In 1966, the air force ceded administration of Koko Crater over to the City of Honolulu. It was then renamed to the Koko Head Regional Park. Within this park is the Koko Crater Trail, which is a 1.8-mile-long trail that uses the now-abandoned railroad as its pathway. The trail heads up 990 ft and 1,048 railroad cross-ties at a very steep incline, and the views at the Koko Head Crater summit are 1,208 ft above sea level.
The abandoned railway trail can be seen as the faint 'line' up the side of the crater in the photograph above (starts just above the baseball/softball field and ends at the peak of the crater). This photo was taken from the Hawai'i Kai Lookout along the side of Kalanianaʻole Highway.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Looking at my other panorama photo, this view is from the tip of the curve on the right. You are looking at Hanauma Bay and Koko Crater (pointed mountain).
Consist of two stitched photos. View Large On Black for better viewing.
I have 2 more panorama pictures from my hiking adventure last saturday. I'll post them in between my soft focus theme photos.
Thank you for stopping by my friends.
Rugged shores of Kokohead created where big waves constantly pounding the coast. It is harsh place but it has it's own beauty.

The view from Hawaii's Diamond Head on a full moon night. Waikiki is on the left, and numerous landmarks are visible. The full pano is over 130 MP.
4-shot pano of Kokohead and Hanauma bay just before the sun started to rise. If you look closely you can see the lights of the sunrise hikers going up the Kokohead trail.
It's amazing to me to see the water that blue with such little sunlight!

A windsurfer gets ready to head out from the beach at Kahala, as Koko Crater and Koko Head stand guard in the distance. I love this part of southeastern O‘ahu, not least because it is almost always such a great combination of sun and dramatic skies, thanks to its leeward position and the local topography.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, wherever in the world you might be.
This pic was inspired by those lovely pics of Cape Kiwanda that I've seen on Flickr. In a composition like this, the sky is just an after thought as I am more interested in the quality of the first light illuminating the Crater and the forces of the waves.
Looking southeast from the point at Kawaikui Beach Park towards Koko Crater and Koko Head, as a windsurfer is taking advantage of a day of strong trade winds.
We just broke the all-time record for snowiest year in Boston yesterday. So I'm thinking back to warmer days. This is what winter looks like in Hawai‘i.
Thanks very much for stopping by, and for all of your kind comments and favorites. They are much appreciated!
A sixty-second exposure at the beach in Kahala, on the east side of Honolulu, Hawai‘i. That's Koko Crater and Koko Head in the distance, off to the southeast.
It was a windy day, so I was glad to have a sturdy tripod with a hook to hang my pack from to weigh it down. Shot with my OM-D E-M5, M.Zuiko 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 lens, a Hoya Circular Polarizer, and a B+W 10-stop ND filter.
Aloha and Mahalo!
