This was taken from the lanai (balcony) of the condo we rented while back home to visit my bro. I ask myself daily how I could ever have moved away from such beauty (and still don't have an answer). The condo was in Kihei, to the right (where this image was taken) was Lahaina, with Lanai and Moloka'i off in the distance. To the left of this shot, is Molokini (an atoll with great snorkeling) and Kaho'olawe. This was taken with my camera phone, so please excuse any graininess. Enjoy. PS= the tree the sun is poking through is called a MonkeyPod tree, and grows a fantastic canopy I would kill for here in the Fresno heat. MonkeyPods are often mistaken for Banyon trees which are also found in the Islands.
