This is sunset view from our hotel room in Maui Hyatt Regency<\/a> Resort and Spa which we called home for our week long stay there. During the entire trip I wondered what island this was. Google to the rescue, it’s the\u00a0Hawaiian island of Lanai. Which looking at the Google map seems to be famous for the Lanai Cat Sanctuary<\/a>. The cat sanctuary is on the other side of the island, our view is of the not very famous and hard to reach town of Lopa and the Lopa beach.<\/p>\n

\"Sunset<\/p>\n

View of San Francisco just after take off from San Francisco International Airport. From the air you can see how much of the city is laid out with North – South and East -West streets.<\/p>\n

\"Your<\/p>\n

View from our hotel room and the island of Lanai. The hotel calls the top floor we were on the 21st, but I think we were at most nine stories up.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Just shocking, a rainbow in Hawaii. This one is over the golf course surrounding the Maui Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa.<\/p>\n

\"Clouds<\/p>\n

This HDR photo shows the clouds and palm trees reflecting in the hotel pool.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Just more Maui sunrise eye candy from the beach by our hotel.<\/p>\n

\"Eye<\/p>\n

A Barracuda swims by in a display at the Maui Ocean Center<\/a> (Aquarium ).<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Sunlight streams into the 750,000 gallon Open Ocean exhibit which features Stingrays, Tuna, and Black Tipped Reef\u00a0 sharks. The exhibit also has a 240 degree view acrylic tunnel which visitor can walk through to get the under sea experience.<\/p>\n

\"Maui<\/p>\n

A wonderful sunset viewed from our dinner at sea on the\u00a0Maui Sunset Dinner Cruise.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

I was able to get the clouds in motion by using a 30 second exposure for this photo. I was able to steady the camera for 30 seconds by using a Bogen 209 tabletop tripod<\/a> and 482 head which has now been replaced by the model 492 head. With it’s legs fully extended, the tripod stands all of 3 inches high, but the 492 head allows you to point the camera in all directions.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The high shutter speed stops the waves crashing over the rock along the beach for this photo. But in real life, I had to run\u00a0immediately after taking the photo so the wave wouldn’t crash upon me.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Out for a morning jog along the beach.<\/p>\n

\"Sunrise<\/p>\n

Pretty sure that’s all that is left from the atoll used in the 1995 movie Waterworld which was filmed in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

\"Sailboat<\/p>\n

Tourist taking a photo of his and his wife’s shadow while walking along the beach.<\/p>\n

\"Walking<\/p>\n

Early morning view of the hotel pool and the\u00a0island of Lanai from our room.<\/p>\n

\"Swimming<\/p>\n

Even the birds were enjoying the view from our room.<\/p>\n

\"Birds<\/p>\n

Rays of sunlight streaming through the late afternoon clouds.<\/p>\n
