A Day in Haleiwa

8/365

My friend and I spent the day in Haleiwa.  I wasn't too excited about it when she suggested it, but I agreed because I haven't been out shooting much lately and I needed the diversion.  Once we got there, I decided to put some effort into it.

It was hot and I'm not a big fan of hot-weather photography.  But unlike hot weather in the northeast, there are always chances to cool off by getting into the shade or when the trade winds blow, so it was fairly tolerable for me today.

I'm pretty happy with some of the images I brought home.  

So I give thanks to my friend, Jackie, for giving me the impetus to get out there, for the stimulating conversations we had and for the great ideas for some creative uses for my images.  

Abandoned Building and Such

While driving along the North Shore, a little farther than I normally do, we came upon this abandoned building, which was originally a Convalescent Home. Apparently there had been a fire.

Driving back, we saw this sight. The surf was exceptionally high today, and it was fun watching these waves soar into the air.

Back in Haleiwa, we passed this shop that sells glass figures, and the glass blower just happened to be "doing his thing".

Some of the items for sale in the shop.

Signs

Today's mini-assignment was 'signs'. This first image is a sign pointing to my favorite town on the North Shore.

This image is 'just because'. Just because I liked the cloud formation.

Remember back in January I posted a sunset image and said that you should take note of where the sun was setting compared to the small mountain in the background? Well, this is either the same image or one that I took at the same time. See where the sun was setting?

Now take a look at the next image and see where the sun is setting in relation to that same land mass. Pretty cool, huh? Quite a large difference in just two months. So stretching today's theme, I guess this is a sign that in spite of what's going on in the world of men, the earth still moves in its pre-designed rotation according to God's plan for it. Hopefully we can all be comforted by the fact that the Creator is still in His heaven, and spring is on the way!
