Hilo Bay Panorama

                

Two Old Favorites, some ripples, two canoes, a waterfall..

One wild wave…

And a new

Hilo Bay Panorama processed

from my 3 photos by Kort Ploshay!

Look what my friend Kort  did with three Hilo Shorelines photos.. Thank you Kort!

Mid December

on a cold and quiet winter night
a traveller sought shelter for his wife..
what has this to do (you might well ask)
with these images? a picture’s worth a thousand words
and yet i add more seemingly unrelated
it’s just me trying to get a word in edgewise

Stand on the Moss-Covered Stone

     I will stand on the

moss-covered rock

in the middle of a forest

at the edge of the sea

This is my theme for now

my expedition

Akaka FallsWhere the falling water calls

This is my vision

this is my dream

A rainforest, an island, a song..

    

Let’s take a walk downtown for some fine green moss..  at the edge of the Pu’ueo Bridge in Hilo

The forest rock will have to wait!

(not too long, the good lord willin’ & the creek don’t rise..)

In the meantime here we are in the middle of town. 

And this is the shoreline for sure..

  

Yes this is downtown Hilo!

At the mouth of the Wailuku River

Where the Singing Bridge beckons

and the little lighthouse calls…

   (This one is called Roughwater Morning on redbubble & fineartamerica) 

  Out of order, out of

context, out of

town, the Puna coastline

stands out

out of the blue

or beyond the blue

(horizon)

  an unknown wavewalker 

in the early morning sunlight

in Hilo Bay..

And we come back to the canoes.

   Speaking of canoes..  these are all from Bayfront.. Big Island masterwork!                There’s the Singing Bridge

& a white canoe…

  And the dawn of this new day

gives me hope 

gives me light

    I  will stand my ground!

Nearing Mid-April

       Some of my favorite images from  recent times..

    (Maybe they didn’t make it into the first cut)

   A tribute to the Merrie Monarch Festival, 2010, Hilo– A Kaumana lehua..

   And now for some Hilo shorelines, always more Hilo shorelines, (that’s what we’re here for, Hilo Shore Lines            

“These shorelines have been blessed..”

                    

 P. S.  I  got a  request for more canoe pictures… let’s see what we can find.

    

And here’s something to think about:  the bridge at Honoli’i..    

   Adios & Aloha from the Islands to the World 

(Tried to delete the duplicates but everything disappears, so the doubles are back..)

One more wave?   And one more waterfall..

Aloha World, this is Hilo!

Branching out from family photos

We now introduce a new weblog

Long-planned yet still unprepared

We are guided by the words of the Searchers

To begin near the mouth of the Wailuku

At the rock known as Maui’s Canoe

(Wailuku River, 2 blocks from downtown Hilo)

Facing makai (seaward) from the Keawe St. Bridge we see what’s often called “The Singing Bridge”

because of the sounds it makes when driven on…

And upstream through the vines, a few waterfalls.

  “There are those who believe

that Hilo is the most beatuiful

town in the world!”

                             

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hilo & Mauna Kea

 

 

 

    

Puhi Bay

               Keaukaha smiles

                    & Leleiwi glows…
