13-01-19 OPMUG Paiko Lagoon Sunset

Sunday evening Richard, Don & I joined up with the OPMUG folks to take pictures of the sunset from Paiko Lagoon (actually Moanalua Bay just off Paiko Drive).  Because parking is tight, we initially met up in the parking lot of Moanalua Bay Beach Park, then car pooled it to Paiko Drive.

One of the cars wasn't able to find parking so they decided to park elsewhere and walk back.  I went back out to Paiko Drive to wait for them.  While I was waiting I walked down the road and checked out Paiko Lagoon for birds.

Found a duck and a heron feeding.

There was no wind so Moanalua Bay was like a mirror.

The sun is setting just to the outside of Diamond Head.  The piece of land sticking out is Black Point, possibly the most expensive real estate in the islands.

Due to the lack of wind we were getting wonderful reflections off the water.

Sun disappeared into the cloud bank.

The few clouds we had exploded in color.

One of the photographers brought her daughter with a camera.

So she became our model.

The parting light of the blue hour.
