Skywatch: Maui

Since I have still been working on scanning my film from out 2002 trip to Hawaii I decided to post a couple more Hawaiian Skywatch pics this week. I believe that these are pics of the Maui shoreline that we took from a whale watching boat while we were out looking for humpback whales.
If you look closely you can see a small rainbow. This is formed by the refraction of the light through the water vapor molecules inside the clouds.

Everything looks different in Hawaii, doesn't it, the mountains so close to the ocean? ;-)

I'd love to go back to Maui. I think it is as close to the Garden of Eden as you can get these days.
Beautiful photos and great catch of the rainbow. I think Maui has more of those than anywhere else. While on a helicopter tour there we saw a circle rainbow -an entire 360. It was great, although a little disorienting when the copter pilot did the 360 to show us!

Beautiful! I think what catches my eye most is the unbelievable dark, deep blue of the water. Wow!
