12-04-21 IWSSB Kaena Point Hike to Natural Arch Sunset & Frank's Birthday

For the final event of the day, Jeff & I hooked up with the IWSSB gang for a hike on the Kaena Point trail to the natural arch.  We planned on taking sunset pictures there followed by dinner to celebrate Frank's birthday.

We were lucky enough to be able to share a ride with Don, Kelli & Lyle in Don's SUV.  The plan was to meet at Don's place at 3 so it would leave enough time to get to Yokohama Bay and the beginning of the hike by 4pm.  Although we made it on time to the start  point there were some stragglers so we ended up actually beginning the hike about 30 minutes late.  

After sunset we all agreed to meet at Chili's for dinner and to celebrate Frank's dinner.  We had a great time and were stuffed to the max.  

Finally I dropped Jeff off at his hotel and got home around 12:30am.  

It had been a long but fun day and I had a photo shoot with HPS coming up early Sunday morning.

As the sun began to set I really liked the color the dry grass was turning.

You can see the lighthouse way off on the horizon.

Thought this looks pretty good as a b&w.
