Pink sky at night by Mark J P

It actually stopped raining today and there was a pink sky as the sun was setting.  This has to be a good sign surely? Could summer finally be on the way.. I’m doubtful.

These were the waves at Sandy Beach Park in Oahu, Hawaii (aka break-neck beach). Apparently there are more injuries here each year than any other beach in Hawaii. The waves were really rather high even just a few feet out at the shore break. Needless to say I remained on the safety of the beach. ;)

Aloha Hawaii by Mark J P

We have just returned from Hawaii on honeymoon but this is an iPhone shot as we were coming in to land in Oahu. An absolutely beautiful part of the world and although I may be back home in Blighty my heart remains in Hawaii (along with my sleeping pattern.. jet lag is a real pain!).

Miles and miles by Mark J P

This is the view from the Kahekili Highway in Maui, Hawaii on an overcast Sunday afternoon.  The highway is miles and miles of extremely windy roads with beautiful vistas to stop at every couple of minutes.  Shot in Maui, Hawaii, USA.

Jellyfish by Mark J P

This was more than enough to keep me out of the ocean but a little further down the beach there seemed to be plenty of people more than happy to ignore the warnings and enjoy the warm water. Crazy!

Hawaiian Green Turtle by Mark J P

These Hawaiian Green Turtles come to Laniakea Beach to bask in the sun.  It’s quite incredible to be able to get so close to them. An amazing sight. Shot on Laniakea Beach, Oahu, Hawaii.
