I just missed the green flash on this photo (below). I was adjusting the lens when the flash occurred - I didn't even see it because I was looking at the camera. Meanwhile a bunch of people near me were oohing and ahhing, and asking if anyone had caught it.

Nice dramatic effect from the clouds in that first one.

That was Hurricane Flossie from a couple of years ago. We were staying at Mauna Loa Village when Flossie was supposed to arrive. All kinds of evacuation plans had been made. We stocked up with canned goods.

But Flossie totally disintegrated just before reaching Hawai'i. The windward side of the Big Island got a moderately good rainstorm out of it. Kona got spectacular sunsets and about 30 minutes of moderate rain the next day.

That photo was taken on fairway for the hole of the Kona Country Club that is right next to Mauna Loa Village.

Well-connected cows always get an ocean view.

Waikoloa from Kohala Highway. The haze hanging over Waikoloa is VOG from Kilauea wrapping around the south and west sides of the island.

That happened to me at HHV on Oahu. Luckily, I caught it the very next evening.
