Yes it is the old bait and switch once again. This is just another one of these Hawaii photo distraction diaries. I hope you enjoy this before getting back to something important.
Sunset Cruise
Ko'olau Mountain Mist
Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin
Why do they leap and spin? Because they can.
Jump!
All backlit silhouettes on this evening, but dolphins always make everyone happy.
The tourist sunset cruise boat.
The cliched sunset with sailboat shot. But still...
And once again we were lucky enough to witness that elusive event.. the green flash....
A heavily cropped closeup...
If you still have your doubts.. from wikipedia...
The reason for a green flash lies in refraction of light (as in a prism) in the atmosphere: light moves more slowly in the lower, denser air than in the thinner air above, so sunlight rays follow paths that curve slightly, in the same direction as the curvature of the Earth. Higher frequency light (green/blue) curves more than lower frequency light (red/orange), so green/blue rays from the upper limb of the setting sun remain visible after the red rays are obstructed by the curvature of the earth.
And the promised boobies!
Brown Boobies
Sorry.
And we will conclude with one of these...
Thanks for visiting. As always feel free to post your photos and please be good humans.
