Steve,

Do you subscribe to Hawaii Magazine? I'd submit the pic of the Kilauea Lighthouse to their annual photo contest. It's breath taking.

This thread just inspired me to finally move my Hawaii photos from 2006 over to Photobucket, where my more recent stuff is. Here are a few:

This is a fun thread!!!

This thread just inspired me to finally move my Hawaii photos from 2006 over to Photobucket, where my more recent stuff is.

Don't you agree that Hawai'i must be about the easiest place in the world to get nice pictures??

Here are another few of my faves - this is the lava field below Kilauea on the Big Island - taken from a helicopter during an early morning flight:

This one is of the grasslands along the Mamalahoa Road near Waimea, on the BI. The grasses are bent over by the wind - it was blowing so hard I couldn't stand up while I took the picture. I had to brace myself against a pole.

I like the fine texture of the grasses and the golden hue they picked up in the sunlight.

Final 640 ft of the Half Dome hike, Yosemite National Park, and no, I didn't do it! DH was up there.

Oahu

Chris,

Awesome study of color! Love the blues! Where was this?

Diane and Stressy

This is on Oahu at Lanikai. Its located on the South Eastern portion of the island. Its my favorite beach in all of Hawaii. Its very picturesque due to the two small islands right off the coast. You can rent paddleboards and go out to them. This beach has been listed on many top beaches list. Many advertisements use this beach. In fact Marriott has an ad with a lady holding an umbrella and she is on this beach. Be sure to see it the next time you go to Oahu. There are no tourists there. Except me!!!

Not sure what this is. We were walking along the beach in California (Laguna Beach) in November. We came across an area with a lot of rocks and tidal pools. Took this through some very clear shallow water (about 8 inches deep, maybe). My 9 yo great-niece, who is way into sea-life, was watching and watching and noticed that when anything came close by, this would close around it (trying to catch it, eat it, who knows?). Anyway, she very softly laid the end of a longish piece of sea grass in it, and it closed completely around it. I got before and after shots. Pretty cool! She was impressed.

Notice how the underside of it blends right in with the sand and pebbles when closed.

BTW, thanks for starting this thread Theresa. I'm really enjoying seeing all of the great pictures and never knew about photobucket - it's a cool website!!

epcot center

(I tried to do it from my Snapfish account, but nothing showed up. I then joined Photobucket, and would you know that as I was uploading my photos, the site decided to have a maintenance! I will put my photo on here as soon as I can!)

This was taken during the sun setting in May 2005 at Epcot Center.

man...last trip I took that I got a decent photo of was a contracting gig in houston before I took over tug.

fantastic shot of traffic...I had never seen 14 lanes of dead stop traffic before!

sorry its not a pretty vacation type pic =D

Your photo is of the West Loop just north of Hwy 59. Years ago (80's) there was a network television special about traffic. It was stated during that program that the intersection you have shown in your photo was, at the time, the most congested intersection in the US. YIKES!!

It is still bad today (as your photo suggests) even after a major renovation.

Nemo ride at Epcot?

I'm guessing it's the Monterey aquarium.

 

[NYBrit]

Ok hopefully this is it!

Here is Epcot Center at Sunset! This was taken end of May 2006.

Seaworld

Firstly, I want to say THANKS to Theresa for helping all of us to upload here! It does work!

These next 3 photos were taken at Seaworld, also end of May, 2006.

This is one of my favorites!

And just look at these two 'Love Birds'!

Animal Kingdom

These were taken at Animal Kingdom at the end of May 2006. Yes, I do love to photograph animals!

Christine

"Yo, you talking to me?"

"Aw, ain't I just pretty?"

"Don't anybody move!"

"Is this love?"

And finally I just had to add my own "little girl", my cat, Boo-Boo, who frequently sleeps like this!

I'm guessing it's the Monterey aquarium.

Should we think about starting a new thread? This one is starting to get "heavy" and slow to load. Love the photos, folks! Virginia, WOW! Where was that? Steve, you have a great eye for photography. Your lighthouse could be on a calendar. Chris, so could your beach shot. I looked through my photos and realized they're all crap compared to some of these.
