He‘eia Kea Boat Harbor, Oahu Island
I had seen this harbor from a bus ride that runs round of the island. Once day I took off the bus on the way to a windward beach. The ride takes about four hours. You will the whole sparsely populated side of the island. When I first visited the island, this route was operated every half an hour. However, by my second visit, the number of services had been decreased to once an hour and bi-articulated buses ran instead.
You can see a tiny conic-shaped rock ahead on the horizon. It is named Chinaman's Hat. The island is described in Hawaiian mythology.

I've been thinking about the things I miss
When night comes around
It's for familiar skies I wish
When will I see you again?
Sweet the days of using no refrain
You spread a little sunshine
And then pour on the rain
When will I feel you again?
And the Windward skies sing lullaby's to me
Shine when you want rain while you can
I'll understand I really, really do
Light up night over Makua; know with all your might
But leave Kane'ohe safe and keep Kailua alive
From La'ie to Nalo let your love shine
When the misting morning dew blacken the windward's rain
And the Ko'olau's range stand tall and signals the way
I will return on that sweet day
And the Windward skies sing lullaby's to me
Shine when you want rain while you can
I'll understand I really, really do
And the Windward skies they make me sigh and feel so blue
Know that I'm away I left the counting days
Please understand that when I cry I cry for you
That's when I'm longing for you
And the Windward skies sing lullaby's to me
Shine when you want rain while you can
I'll understand I really, really do
And the Windward skies they make me sigh and feel so blue
Know that I'm away I left the counting days
Please understand that when I cry I cry for you
That's when I'm longing for you

Koʻolau Range is a name given to the dormant fragmented remnant of the eastern or windward shield volcano of the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu. It is not a 'mountain range' in the normal sense, because it was formed as a single mountain called the Koʻolau Volcano (koʻolau means "windward" in Hawaiian). What remains of Koʻolau is the western half of the original volcano that was destroyed in prehistoric times when the entire eastern half—including much of the summit caldera—slid cataclysmically into the Pacific Ocean. Remains of this ancient volcano lie as massive fragments strewn nearly 100 miles over the ocean floor to the northeast of Oʻahu. Kāneʻohe Bay is what remains of the ancient volcano's summit caldera after the slide. The modern Koʻolau mountain forms Oʻahu's windward coast and rises behind the leeward coast city of Honolulu — on its leeward slopes and valleys are located most of Honolulu's residential neighborhoods. The remaining summit of the tallest peak, Puʻu Kōnāhuanui is approximately 3,100 ft tall.
The Ko‘olau Range Pali was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1972 and covers an area of 565 acres that is split between private and state ownership.

Croyde beach is set in a wide sandy bay between Woolacombe and Saunton Sands beaches. Despite being a little tricky to find, and in a rural setting, Croyde is one of North Devon's most popular beaches. It is one of the prettiest spots along the coast, it also has the best surf.
Croyde bay sits between two headlands, which offer some protection from the wind. To the rear are sand dunes, and beyond, the rolling green hills of the Devon countryside. Despite being just on the other side of Baggy Point from Woolacombe beach, Croyde has a much less developed laid back feel to it.
The sand at Croyde is fine and golden. Towards the shoreline this becomes firm and compacted, which is great for sandcastles but even better news for surfers. When the sand banks are right Croyde produces steep, powerful waves which attract surfers from far and wide.

The little islands and promontories off the windward side of the Hawaiian island of O‘ahu, looking down on Kāohikaipu Island, with Rabbit Island behind, Moku Nui and Moku Iki off Lanikai behind that, and Mōkapu Point in the far distance. As seen from the top of the Makapu‘u Point lighthouse trail.
Thanks very much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, wherever in the world you might be.

Mokolii, also known as Chinaman's Hat, is a small island off the east coast of the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i and is a popular scenic spot. It is frequently photographed because of its remarkable resemblance to a Chinese straw hat.
The Story of Chinaman's Hat is an original legend describing how this uniquely shaped island was created. The story begins with a young boy in China who magically grows into a giant and floats across the seas to Hawai'i. The adventures he experiences change him and the face of the Hawaiian Islands forever.

A return to one of my favorite spots on the windward side of the Hawaiian island of O‘ahu: the Byodo-In Temple. Built in 1968, it is a half-size replica of the original temple of the same name, near Kyoto, Japan. The dramatic setting, with the backdrop of the Ko‘olau Mountains, and the frequent swirling clouds produced by the topography and weather patterns of the windward side, make this a must-visit whenever I'm on that side of the island.
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend in some of your favorite spots, wherever they might be.

Pumped to be back in RI! My first shoot since we got back here less than 48 hours ago. I used my new Lee landscape polarizer on this one and I was very pleased with how it brought out the warm tones in the sky, which were very fleeting in this muted sunset.
Reflections. I believe my daughter-in-law said we were at China Wall. Anyway, just outside Hawaii Kai.
