Maui Shots

This was my second try at photographing a full moon.

Yes I live in Tropical Maui, but we do have winter here as well. This is Snow on Haleakala. In 11 1/2 years living here we have had snow on the volcano a couple of times, but this is the first time that I've been able to see it from sea level. This was shot adjacent to the Maui Ocean Center in Maalaea















Last Tuesday after 2 days of heavy rains filled Kealia Pond this was the view when driving home from work around 3:20pm. Yes this is a real shot, I did not photoshop anything into the picture.















Here's a little better view. There is a small stream located just to the left of this view that flows from the main body of water across the highway. My guess is that the shark swam it at high tide and either couldn't get out or liked the captive food chain in the pond.
















Ok, I'll fess up. It's a plastic shark fin that someone put in the pond about a month ago when it first filled up. By the time I first saw it the water level had dropped enough that you could see the bottom of the fin and the post. I waited until the pond filled up again to get these shoots. My mother in-law was in the car with me when I took these and was positive that it was real, but wondered why it wasn't swimming around. We were there for about 20 minutes.
