Description
The Golden Hour light diffused by low clouds was incredible, the beach took on a surreal appearance with glorious storm waves pounding the shore, with its golden flecked wave tips and spray. Very little post processing, used a filter and adjusted the exposure. The rest was Mother Nature.
Ke Iki Beach is less than an hour from famous Waikiki, located right in the middle of the famous North Shore's seven mile miracle. During the winter Waimea Bay and the Banzai Pipeline are home to the largest surfable winter waves. Sunset Beach, only a few minutes way, is known as surfing's Mecca. The surf and scenery are amazing any time of the year.
In Hawaiian mythology, Nāmaka (or Nā-maka-o-Kahaʻi, the eyes of Kahaʻi) appears as a sea goddess or a water spirit and she is an older sister of Pele-honua-mea.
My soul is full of longing
for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch, we are going back from whence we came" John F. Kennedy
"In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans". Kahlil Gibran
The beauty of ocean waves and the infinite shapes and textures that it offers...when we take the time to watch and observe its creations.
In the mythology of old Hawaii, Kanaloa was the god of the ocean, a healer god, and the close companion of Kane, the god of creation.
