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.

well I can certainly imagine just how wonderful it was there by your description and glad you managed to capture a photograph to remember it by. The image itself is a bit grainy as you say and the sun too strong, but at least we can share some of your experience!

if i had no debt i wouldn't go to work on a morning
I agree with the others that the quality isn't the best, but that truly is not what makes a good photo. Composition is what is most important to me, and you have done an excellent job. Nothing distracting is captured, and the sun (however over-powering) works beautifully shining through the tree. The clouds and trees are just gorgeous. Thank you for a glimpse of this beautiful scene. I'm certain it was amazing to view in real life!

"For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if One died for all, then were all dead: and that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again." II Corinthians 5:14-15, KJB
Thanks guys. I had planned on bringing my camera, even set it out to be packed...got to Maui...no camera. Called the hubby, he said it was sitting right where I left it! So while not as clear, I am thankful for my camera-phone, or I wouldn't have been able to capture any of it!!

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain!
