This is the Black Sand Beach on the island of Maui in Hawaii. It is actually a true black! Closer to the water the sand grains are quite small but as you come up it's more like pebbles. And no it is not a black and white image!
Great shot and presentation here. I had heard that it is illegal for tourists to bring any of the sand from that area back to the mainland. Again, nice work.
Adriana - A nice capture of such an unusual beach sand. Even the water takes on the color of the sand and has a b/w appearance. I like the rock (lava) backdrop. Thad
