A stretch of the one-lane Waikaloa Road leading into Hana.
A painted coconut sprouts among the loose coils of a rusted ship's anchor chain. Hana Maui Botanical Garden.
The rainforest canopy dwarfs this bridge and an SUV cautiously crossing over it. This part of Maui often gets more than 300 inches of rainfall per year.
African Tulip Trees lend a splash of red on the uniformly green canopy of the rainforest near mile marker 25.
Happyface chute of a parasailer flying over the surf off Lahaina, West Maui. The "Big L" on the slope behind the parasail is maintained by the denizens of Lahainaluna Highschool. Click on the "Map this" link to see the "L" in a satellite image of the slope.
Fruit stand at the roadside, Olowalu, west Maui. Mike the proprietor sits in a lawn chair stationed nearby so he can keep an eye on the crates of fresh island fruits and vegetables. Other family members wait on customers and sell fresh-fruit smoothies from the "van"; their fresh cane juice is unbelievably good.
Halloween 2005 in Lahaina. Don't be fooled by this band's lack of heavy hardware: they were punchin' it out loud and long (and even sounded better and looked more enthusiastic than the Lahainaluna Marching Band). BTW: The ABC Store in the background goes back to the 1960s.
Halloween 2005 in Lahaina. Superman, as always, striding with purposeful gait toward the parade assembly point. It's now about 5 PM and Lahaina's living up to its Hawaiian name ("heat of the sun") with temperatures in the high 90s. But the "S Man" is still lookin' cool!
Halloween 2005 in Lahaina. Those folks wearing the fanciest Halloween costumes seemed to be the friendliest and most willing to accomodate this photographer with cheesy smiles and creative poses. This "wahine" and her Batman should have won a prize for getting into the spirit of the celebration.
