Weekly Photo Challenge : State of Mind

Every photo we take says something about our emotions at the moment of taking it. So this week, share an image where you see a particularly strong connection between what we see and what you felt as you pressed that shutter button on your camera or phone.

This is a stolen shot I took at Skagit Valley Tulips Festival, WA, I wished I took the email address of their parents so I can send them this photos. I can relate how they feel about seeing all this flowers, it’s so serene and wonderful to be really there! One of my most unforgettable trip ever!

Everywhere there’s an art. I think in everything we do is an art. The way we talk, dress, the way we love, our smile even how we cry is an art 🙂

Life is an art..

My Oahu Escapades – Makapu’u Look out to Makapu’u beach park (part 4/5)

A drive past Hanauma bay and Sandy beach, the Makapu’u point State Wayside Park, is a roadside park with magnificent view of Ka-iwi State scenic shoreline and Mañana Island (rabbit Island).

2015-10-02 at 10-04-58 — panoramic view of shoreline

Though there was a drizzle of rain from time to time, it didn’t stop us (and a lot of tourist too!) from getting out of the car .The sky was so blue and the view was spectacular, how can you stay in the car?

Makapu’u beach

again, we’re here just to see the view and we didn’t even took the Makapu’u light house trail!

tsk! tsk! there’s a lot to see ..a lot of things to do ..no time to see it all and do 🙂

a distant view of the rabbit island. does it really look like a rabbit head?

2015-10-08 at 06-04-55 — a closer view of rabbit island

2015-10-08 at 06-33-35 — Makapu’u s lighthouse from a far

2015-10-08 at 06-33-41 — a closer view of the lighthouse built in 1909 on a 600 foot sea cliff overlooking Makapu’u beach

We went down to have a closer look of the beach and have seen a lot of like.. lava rocks and tide pools where tiny fishes and crabs got stuck in between during low tides.

Ladies, here’s my picture once again with an open arms.. just one way of saying..

be free!

Life is beautiful to hold on to whats bringing you down.

Cheers,

Weekly Photo Challenge – Trio

I took this picture on my recent trip to Polynesian Culture Centre in the Islands of Hawaii. Although every village in the Island had shown their culture through dancing, this three Samoa dancers took my attention because of their vibrant energy while dancing.

My Oahu escapades : Lanai look out to Sandy beach park (part 2/5)

2015-10-03 at 02-18-12

We tried to wake up early to get the glimpsed of early sunrise but we failed obviously, as we headed to Kalaniana’ole highway (Hwy 72) the sun was already up.

2015-10-02 at 11-31-12

2015-10-03 at 02-06-21

We stop to a little corner before heading to Lanai look out, just to take a panoramic view of the city. We saw a middle-aged man, walking leisurely , I wonder where is the destination? The view was spectacular! Alright, we didn’t get to sunrise what about coming back here at sunset?

Oh yeah! good idea!

2015-10-03 at 01-19-26

2015-10-02 at 11-24-50

Omg! Oh my! what a nice view!., I think I uttered these words ten times if not more 🙂

2015-10-02 at 11-38-32

Lanai look out is on the south-eastern shore, nestled behind Koko crater and not too far from Hanauma bay. There’s a small pull-out /parking area to view and take pictures.

The southward view is amazing and a piled of an interesting looking eroded rocks can be seen, actually we came back twice and still feels good to come back more 🙂

After taking a few shots, we went further more.. again Omg!

2015-10-03 at 03-02-40

Finally we arrived at Sandy beach park, as I laid down my things, appreciating the beauty of the sea,the lifeguard approached us not to swim further as the current was so strong and dangerous. I watched with awe how one surfer calmly wait for the waves and enjoy his time. The impressive pounding shortwaves took my camera in bursts shots 🙂

When the sun started to go down, we hurriedly went back to the first corner stop so I can shot the sunset overlooking the panoramic view of the island.

My Oahu Escapades – Nu’uanu Pali Lookout (Part 1/5)

My Oahu Escapades started at Downtown Honolulu, a walking tour from Kinau St. to a glimpse of road to Queens Medical Centre , State Capitol building ,Lolani palace, Hawaiian Mission Houses ,Hotel St. , Art Museum to Al Moana Blvd. And before the sun goes down, we drove to Waikalani drive to Pali point, a breathtaking view of Oahu’s Windward coast.

Lolani Palace-the former residence of the Hawaiian monarchs (1882-1893)

Hawaii Mission House — Hawaiian Mission House, includes three restored houses, two of which are the oldest houses in Hawaii

2015-09-28 at 16-38-09 (1) — During World war II, it was told that women coming from the mainland were working in Hotel St, a block of brothels that charged 3 dollars for three minutes.

And of course, I won’t leave Waikalani without taking photos of flowers along the road 🙂

The drive to Pali point was as exciting as the sceneries and the wind, oh my! It was windy and cold but I love every minute of it. After all, Pali point is known for strong and howling wind!

2015-09-30 at 06-38-26

and more flowers along the sides 🙂

2015-09-30 at 06-57-58

I took this photo to show how the grasses swayed along the gust of wind. really? hmm it doesn’t look like it 🙂

Ladies, to enjoy the scenery comfortably, bring along some heavy shirts to protect yourself from the cold wind, there’s no entry fee but a $3 for car park is a must.

Along the streets of Kalakaua Avenue to Waikiki Beach

2015-10-04 at 07-32-37

What’s a holiday in Honolulu without visiting the world-famous Waikiki beach! This the most vibrant, populated gathering of all tourist around the world. We walk along the avenue where mostly of high-end designer stores lined up and finally we found Oakley store where we can customised my bro sunglasses :-). I was tempted to get into the Prada and Louis Vuitton but I refrained, knowing this is not my first intention of being here anyway. Wow! Is that me? Beautybeyondfifty has a self-control 🙂 for shopping aiyeeh 🙂
