HANALEI BAY SUNSET


Sunset at Hanalei Bay in Kauai is considered a "don't miss" event.  We arrived at the beach about an hour early to set up for this shot ensuring us enough time to enjoy it.

POIPU BEACH MONK SEAL

This was one of several Monk Seals we saw lounging on Poipu Beach in Kauai.  These seals are protected and there are fines in place as high as $25,000.00 for endangering or harassing them.  When they swim up on the beach the life guards quickly erect a barricade around them.  As they relax and regain the strength they need to hunt and avoid predators beach goers continue beaching around the familiar sight.
