After travelling to Alaska in the summer of 2001 I thought that it would be cool to follow the humpback whales, that spend the summer up in the waters around Alaska, to Hawaii that winter. So I gave my wife Michelle tickets for Christmas that year, she had always wanted to go to Hawaii.
While in Hawaii we did not get the great looks at humpbacks that we did in Alaska, they where a lot further away in Hawaii, but we did find a lot of really cool things to photograph.
Most of the pics that we took were scenery pics. Like these pics of a beach on the north shore of Oahu. Back then I was shooting on film so I have been spending some time scanning in pics before they degrade too much.

Well, the colors are beautiful. I can't believe the change in hue from sky to water with silver sand and fluffy white clouds to boot!

The sky is lovely but it's the colour of the water that catches my eyes. I've never been to Hawaii.
