The Grand Canyon Effect

Actually, this shot wasn’t taken at the Grand Canyon, but rather at the Haleakala crater in Maui. Nevertheless, the principle remains the same. When people stand at the edge of a breathtaking vista and stare into it, they open themselves to the experience of the seemingly infinite vastness of time and space - and how small and apparently insignificant they feel by comparison. Call it the experience of “God,” if you like. The same thing can happen by the ocean, which led people to the term “The Oceanic Experience.”

Taking a Dip

The human-made pool at Hale Akua wasn’t the only place you could take a swim. If you hiked down a steep trail from their property, you’d find a small waterfalls and natural pool… right on the edge of an incredible precipice! … That’s Hawaii for you.... Look closely to see the couple just about to take a dip.

So Cool

OK, so back to some of the shots that I took in Hawaii.

Well, this one could be anywhere, not necessarily Hawaii. But the pool at Hale Akua played at important role in our vacation. After spending all day in the hot Maui sun, it was quite nice to have a cool pool to come home to. One evening, as the setting sun cast a lovely soft light, I took quite a few shots of the beautiful reflections that surfaced in the pool. I guess it’s a bit odd to travel half way around the world to an exotic Pacific island, and then take so many shots of a swimming pool!

Surfacing

We just got back from several days of visiting Long Island where we celebrated my daughters 21st birthday and my Mom's 80th birthday. Now that our vacation in Maui and this more recent trip are over, I feel like I can begin to settle back into my more "normal" life routine... whatever "normal" is!
