Amazing sunset from different locations on the Big Island of Hawai‘i! What you see here are from three different locations. One set from the beach, second set from the airbnb I stayed at and the third set from top of Mauna Kea. Some of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen. I hope to go there and get some sunrise pictures from the east side of the Island!

My first visit to Hawai‘i Islands. Beautiful landscape born in fire over millennia fed by multiple volcanoes. Different ecosystems and geologies through out the Island taking you from a balmy 90 degree Fahrenheit weather on the coast to 30 degree Fahrenheit weather on top of Mauna Kea. Rainforests, grasslands, deserts and waterfalls in a small area shows the diversity of this Island. I hope these pictures give you a glimpse of Earth’s power and bounty!

Beautiful Flora and Fauna of Big Island, Hawai‘i. I was lucky to see nene (Branta sandvicensis) in the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Some of the flowers you see are invasive species. The ferns are native and you can see the way leaves unfurl from the curled up structures.
