I love the contrasts between your shots..
The last shot of the beach is awesome – I would love to spend time there!
Thank you so much for your words on my hunt! :)
I wish you a happy weekend :)
Hi Girasoli, wow what a contrast. I love your take on the theme and these are some amazing photos. The colors are so rich! What beach are the second two photos?
Have a great weekend!
Thanks everyone!!
Amy, the first two were taken in Waikiki, down by Kapiolani Park across from the Zoo area (first photo almost looks like a zoo!). The second two were taken in the North Shore of Oahu. The first at a beach between Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach and the second at Waialua Beach Park.
Touche! Love your interpretation … The first time I visited Waikiki Beach, I thought — This is Hawaii??? But then I visited Sunset Beach .. THIS is paradise. But Duke’s is a fun place at the beach, no? You have a nice way of capturing the essence of the peacefulness of Hawaii. Mahalo. Have a great weekend, Menehune
Great shots for the theme. I love empty beaches and you photographed that so well. Also good shots with people but I’m partial to long sandy beaches with few people.
I also prefer the non-crowded beaches over the crowded beaches but there are times now and then when a crowded beach still fits the bill. Thanks again everyone for your comments. I am spoiled here and I know it. I often take this beautiful place for granted. My photos are a great way of reminding me of the beauty here and how lucky I am when I forget or get wrapped up in every day life issues.
