Golden Maui Sunset
Taken by Kris Nelson on June 6, 2006
Location: Offshore near Kahekili Beach in West Maui
By my estimates, it’s time for another sunset photo in our weekly series. Checking the posts here marked with the sunset tag, it looks like it’s about every month or so. I was just writing about sunsets the other day on my newest photography site, so I was sort of in that type of mood this weekend.
In any case, this shot was taken from the Teralani on our first sunset cruise back in 2006, which nowadays seems like ages ago. The orange sky at this time of day and under these conditions leaves a warm and inviting impression on you and it makes you feel so alive and ready to do it all again tomorrow. While some of my favorite sunsets are the ones that drop right down to the ocean at the horizon and leaves a sparkling reflection in the water, this one is a keeper, too. Here, the sun is escaping behinds clouds as they hover above the island of Moloka’i, and catching it at halfway through the event gives it just enough definition around the edges to come out perfect.
Mahalo, and have a great week.
