Nearly Deserted Beach, Oahu, Hawaii, USA

Who says you can't find a nearly deserted beach on Oahu? I asked my wife what image she would like for the photo of the day and she asked for a sandy beach. We had visited one today to watch the sunset and maybe she was craving more. So for you, my lovely wife, this is a photo from near Kaena Point on Oahu, Hawaii.

Just Past Sunset

The world looks a little different from 9000' just after the sun sets on Mauna Kea. Because of the altitude, when looking away from the sun after it dips past the horizon, a band of deep blue can be seen in the shadow caused by the Earth's horizon to the sun while the atmosphere above still receives the much filtered direct rays of a classic golden orange Hawaii sunset. Shot at the Mauna Kea Visitors Center on Hawaii, The Big Island.
