Napili Lanai Views

All of the pix in this blog entry were taken from the same place...the lanai of my condo at Napili Point on the northwest coast of Maui.  The scene constantly changes.  Each sunset is different...each day brings different weather, and varying surf conditions.  From the lanai you can watch snorkelers, surfers, fishermen, and paddleboarders,  Honu (Green sea turtles) surface for air, as many as six or seven at a time, especially in early morning and near sunset.  It's very pleasant to have happy hour out on the lanai and soak up the beauty.

The sun sets over the northern ridge of the island of Lanai.

Morning rainbow.

Palms and pandanus provide a nice foreground for the sunset.

Surf coming up.  This visit, it never exceeded moderate standards in the eleven days I was there.  During my first visit in 2010, the surf got huge on two occasions...it was in early December...and world class surfers appeared and put on a show...with film teams recording the gig.

Waves roll in from the north, coming through the channel between Molokai and Maui.

Crepuscular rays!

Trees are diverse on Maui.
