Dead End Highway
The devastation area cerated by the Kilauea Iki volcano eruptions closed off this former highway and areas still smoulder.

Three different views of sunsets


Summertime, Waimea Bay
Summertime transforms this majestic sandy bay on Oahu's North Shore from a world-class surf spot to a placid turquoise diving pool.

University of Hawaii
An aerial view of the University of Hawaii, located in lush Manoa Valley. In the distance is world famous Diamond Head.

White ginger
Similar to the yellow ginger but a little larger and with a more pleasing fragrance. It is a native of India, where it also grows wild, used in Hawaii as a perfume base besides its extensive use, in season, for leis.
