If I’m not mistaken, the summer solstice occurs sometime tonight, Hawaiian Time. So this morning is as good an approximation as any to declare it the solstice.

And this morning appeared so many different ways, depending on the passing light, the direction that you looked, etc.

I kind of like this image, looking across the grass at Swanzy Beach Park towards the ocean. Click for a larger version and you can see exposed reef on the far right, an indication of the extremely low tide. It was raining farther up the coast as clouds and rain swept in with the tradewinds. It was mostly chance that determined whether it was sunny or wet in your particular spot along the coast.

Tomorrow I may collect a few of the different contrasting views of this morning.

Check back.
