Dimensional test for vertical images. You might notice that this is the same scene from which photograph #627 originated.

Thanks, Nils, for the inspiration for the title.

Kauai Sunrise

Kauai Sunrise

On our last morning in Hawaii, I caught the glimmer of pink during sunrise, rare during the cloudy/rainy winter season. I sprinted the 200 yards out to the ocean in time to catch the sunrise you see here. I’ll post a vertical shot I got of the sunrise later.

Rainbow in Town

Because of the way the wind swept through (we were on the windward, not leeward side of the island), and due to the frequent sun showers, one could see really vivid rainbows that dropped down right into the middle of fields. Pretty amazing.

A big cliff rose up right behind the beach, but I couldn’t get a sense of scale in the picture I took of that.
