This was taken on the beach in Kaaawa yesterday morning (Wednesday). The tide was high and the clouds held the threat of rain, but we made it home without having to open our umbrellas. Temperature about 70 degrees.
That’s winter in Kaaawa.

Sorry, Ian, but you always post such cold pictures of the beach. How about a photo of the sunset? It might be warmer and more colorful.
That’s a funny reaction. The point here is that we’re up to walk to the beach and watch the sun rise. That’s when I’m there, camera in hand, day in and day out. What you see is what you get. In the summer, when the sun comes up earlier than we manage to walk, the photos are different because the sun is already up.
I was just thinking: Maybe you can’t see the sun set on the horizon, because you are facing east? Which explains the sun rise.
Ah, well, Ian, keep doing what you’re doing! Never mind me. LOL.
There’s some over-intellectualizing going on above.
The photo instantly evoked for me lava going into the ocean as it is now in Puna: red/orange fire pouring into the ocean.
It made me feel the heat of creation, even tho’ I don’t know if there is a creator and am comfortable not knowing.
Who’s overintellectualizing now?
I love the sunrise photos and frequently borrow them for my screen saver!
Ian, Love your blog. A site like http://www.sunrisesunset.com/calendar.asp
will show you that the mornings are still getting darker (as I’m sure you noticed) even though the shortest day is well behind us. If you’d like to have this explained you could buy me a beer sometime at the Kaneohe YC sometime. Bill
I want the explanation also please.
Hi Ian: Apologies for putting this here, but I just tried to get to Howzit Howard from your link and it didn’t work. New link is http://blogs.hawaiinewsnow.com/howard/.
Love reading your blog, Ian. I read you just about everyday. Happy Aloha Friday!
