So I got to travel to Hawaii for work and we took the chance see as much of Oahu as we could while we were there. This lighthouse was on the "must see" list. The Makap'u Lighthouse is incredibly important to Hawaii. Every commerce ship that comes from the West Coast passes by this lighthouse.
It's a bit of a hike, one mile uphill to get to it, but it is most definitely worth it. To get this shot you have to leave the pavement and walk a bit more down some rocky paths and climb down some rocks. But when you do, this is the view that awaits you.
Imagine, though, that as your standing there seeing this view you're also getting a strong breeze right off the water and the waves are crashing against the rocks below you. It really is awe inspiring.
Fort those of you who haven't been to Hawaii, go! For those of you that have, well, the Makapu'u Lighthouse is a beacon welcoming you back.

Well, lookie here.:) A blog post at last. And such a lovely one at that. I always loved saying Makapu'u. Just feels good to say it, doesn't it?:) Another lighthouse for your collection and your color balance here is delightfully rich. Love the description of what it took to get the shot....it made me smile. The things we do for our photography, eh? Ah...what I'd give to go back and see it again in person. Great post, my friend!
