12-11-27 EOH Kuli'ou'ou Beach Park Sunset

Hooked up with the EOH group, this evening, at Kuli'ou'ou Beach Park in Hawaii Kai.  I wasn't sure at first how things would go because there was no way we were going to see the actual setting sun on the horizon.  Instead we'd have to be satisfied with the colors in the sky and clouds.

High tide was at 3pm so we caught a dropping tide and by 5 it had begun to expose the various sand bars.

We waded out to the nearest island bordering Paiko Lagoon.  I saw this piece of driftwood and spent some time photographing it from various angles.

That's Koko Head in the background.  I may have "pushed" this image a bit too much as the border of the main branch is doubling.

Still on the island this is one of the channels that allow water to go in and out of Paiko Lagoon.

As the tide receded these ripples covered the sand bars.

Sun is beginning to set.

We got some of the high wispy clouds that make for nice sunsets.

The white cloud looks like a huge bird.

The nearly full moon finally popped up in the Koko Head saddle.

A wider view of Hawaii Kai, Koko Head and the moon.

My final shot of the moon from the sand bar.
