The Evening View

This is view from the apartment. Absolutely amazing, isn't it? The apartment is the bottom floor of a house in Holualoa, a small town above Kailua-Kona on the side of Hualalai mountain. The elevation is about 1,500 feet above sea level. During the day the view out the windows is of the vast, expansive, deep blue Pacific Ocean. You can see the motion of the water, an almost breathing, hypnotic force. Since Kona faces west, the sun sets over the ocean every evening, providing an endless array of color and light. Some days there is more orange, or purple, or pink. And the colors are so vibrant, reflecting off the ocean and clouds. Holualoa is also very quiet and country, making the scene serene. I am struck by the beauty and tranquility everytime. I just can't believe this is my view. Enjoy...
