You take the road north out of Waimea across Kohala, then turn right (east) when you intersect the Hawi Road. Continue on to the end of that road to the Pololu lookout, where there is a great vista. Park there and take the path at the end of the road down to Pololu Beach. The trail takes about 30 minutes going down and about an hour coming back up.


We did see this, but didn't do the trail down this time for a closer view. Wife of the couple with us hurt her back a few days earlier, so we avoiding hiking. But DH and I hiked down on a previous trip. As I recall it was pretty steep down, but a nice hike. *******

Nice shot as the lagoon(?) frames the FG & the trees cement the sunset moment. There's nothing like a Hawaii sunset.

Also like the high key treatment of the woman's vietnam monument.

Presently at Ocean Pointe where we have sunrises.Some big surf is eating the beach away, but waves & light present opportunity. time will tell if I get some lucky shots.

Thanks, Barry. That area (Anaeho'omalu Bay) almost guarantees a great sunset shot.

Something tells me you will!

A' Bay is a great sunset pics location. Way upthread I posted a photo I took there just as Hurricane Flossie was approaching Hawaii several years ago. As a hurricane Flossie fell apart as it reached Hawaii. It did produce some spectacular sunsets, though.

Continuing pics from our trip last summer, here are three shots of Hamakua coastal area, adjacent to the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden.

Another nice sunset shot. It's got a soft effect to it. Is this a slow shutter speed with a slight breeze softening the tree edges. A soft, surreal image.

I had a lot of fun creating this one, Barry. It started as a larger image, taken from a distance with a slow shutter speed, that I cropped to zoom-in on the people. Then I applied a filter to further soften it, yielding the "dream" look that I wanted.
