Hawaii

Hawai’i


Hawai’i is sim­ply one of my favourite places on Earth; one of the best smelling too.

The fol­low­ing is a ded­i­cat­ed col­lec­tion of my best Hawai­ian imagery (film to the lat­est dig­i­tal works). The gallery cross­es all types of ter­rains and sub­ject mat­ter; how­ev­er, it pri­mar­i­ly focus­es on the islands’ nat­ur­al beau­ty.  I have spent count­less hours pho­tograph­ing Maui and the big island of Hawai’i in near­ly every ter­rain and season.

Some day I will return to cov­er the sub­ject of surf­ing and ship my tele­scopes and CCD cam­eras to do a lit­tle astrophotography.

The Bamboo Cathedral

The Bamboo Cathedral


On the hike to Waimoku falls in Haleakala Nation­al Park you cross through a bam­boo for­est that tow­ers over you.  In places the bam­boo is so tall and dense that its extreme­ly dark on the path, how­ev­er occa­sion­al­ly rays of the Sun slip through the tall canopy and shine through.

This por­tion of the path, it height of the bam­boo reminds me of a grand cathe­dral of Europe.

Haleakala Crater Sunrise

Haleakala Crater Sunrise


This image was tak­en from a North East­ern cross view of the crater dur­ing sun­rise, the colours are deep and rich in the rock sand and new plant growth.

Kamoal­i’i (The chiefly stones) Pu’u o Pele (Hill of Pele) and Ka Lu’u o ka ‘O’o (Plunge of the dig­ging stick) cin­der cones are vis­i­ble below.

Haleakala is one of my favourite places in the world, it has many spe­cial qual­i­ties about it, and it nev­er dis­ap­points in any weath­er or any time of the day.  To tru­ly enjoy this part of Hawai’i, one must vis­it the Nation­al park from mid­night to mid­night as ever-chang­ing light­ing con­di­tions reward you with spec­tac­u­lar views.

Kahului Rainbow

Kahului Rainbow


Look­ing down on the val­ley in Maui from the 9000 ft mark on Haleakala.

A rain­bow shines over Kahu­lui, Maui.  Maui remains an amaz­ing place with many of the worlds cli­mat­ic zones avail­able on the island with­in a rel­a­tive­ly short distance.

The trade winds and the loca­tion in the Pacif­ic give it an amaz­ing­ly tem­per­ate cli­mate where it can rain and be sun­ny on you at the same time.

Haleakala Sunset Clouds

Haleakala Sunset Clouds


One of the many sur­re­al cloud for­ma­tions observed dur­ing a sun­set on top of Haleakala Vol­cano at rough­ly 10 000 feet above sea level.

Road Closed

Road Closed


The lava is relent­less from Kilauea on the big island of Hawai’i.

Tak­en from the end of the Chain of Craters road in Hawai’i Vol­ca­noes Nation­al Park.

I have a shot of this exact sign from 1991 and at that time the sign was actu­al­ly on the road, I could not find in in 2015, and I imag­ine that when I go back again in the mid 2020s if they open this part of the nation­al park, this ter­rain does not exist any­more after the most recent eruptions.

This time around its about 700 meters in on the road; very dynam­ic place.

Mauna Kea Keck Telescopes


Over­look­ing the Keck Twin Tele­scopes the Sub­aru and the ITF tele­scopes on Mau­na Kea.

Tak­en dur­ing sun­set from atop of the sum­mit ridge of Mau­na Kea at near­ly 14 000 feet above sea lev­el. While the sun­set it self was not par­tic­u­lar­ly spec­tac­u­lar on this day the real rea­son to see Mau­na Kea is for the tele­scopes and the absolute­ly sur­re­al night sky after dark.

The sum­mit of Haleakala on Maui is vis­i­ble in the pho­to rough­ly 100km’s distant.

The Bamboo Cathedral

The Bamboo Cathedral and other sights on the Wamoku Falls Hike


I took these images in the tow­er­ing bam­boo for­est on the hike to Waimoku Falls in Haleakala Nation­al park.

I have cov­ered this hike near­ly every time I vis­it Maui, Hawai’i; how­ev­er, this year, I went for large for­mat and immer­sive works while in the dense bam­boo for­est.  A few images from the hike.
