"Turquoise Waveforms" - Kauai, Hawaii. -- (April 22nd, 2007)

"Moonrise, Kapaa" - Kauai, Hawaii. -- (April 15th, 2007)
- One day after the full moon, I took advantage of the view off the balcony of the youth hostel I stayed at in Kapa'a. There is a nice 'painterly' effect in the photo, the slight blur and saturated colors are because of the long exposure.
