HAWAII - Oceanscapes

Waipio Lookout is a wondrous place to view the ocean. It has cliffs, waterfalls, luscious valley rolling into the ocean and is tourist-friendly with great viewing areas and restrooms but is pretty slim on the parking area and fat on the stairs down. All is well worth the trouble!




One of the views from our house on Maui .. it was great watching the waves break over the lava rock .. and trying to time your shot to catch the apex of the spray.





Our rented house was right on the ocean and this was part of the beach area ... some sand and some lava but it makes for a beautiful contrast.





We stopped at a view point on our drive to Hilo when we saw this unusual rock formation.





While we were out looking for a 'bird man' (see the bird pics posted earlier), we found a rather secluded area with nothing but lava beaches and formations ... again, tempting us to get our timing right for the best breaking wave shot.
