O'ahu, Hawai'i. Sandy Beach Park. March 23, 2010. Photograph, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01, Leica Wide Lens.
I am in Hawai’i for a week, in the beautiful island of O’ahu, ‘The Gathering Place’. I will compile an album of my favorite shots upon my return; for now, I just want to share this view of Sandy Beach Park, a true-to-life Luminist painting. The water was of at least five shades of blue, and where it turned aqua the golden sand mixed with the shallow shore, to create soft sandy tones…a live watercolor. I never saw sand so yellow, granular, perfect.
We reached this beach after a scooter ride following the coastal roads, from our starting point of Waikiki, Honolulu. I can now say I rode a scooter through the mountains of Hawai’i: the road was pretty Montecarlo-like, but the journey was worth it.
Be back soon.
