West Side of Oahu

I took this one shortly before the sun set near Yokohama beach on the west side of Oahu near Kaena Point.

Beautiful shot. Lovely composition.

Very nice.

Thank you both for commenting.

Looks like a post card.
Beautiful.

Nice shot! The thing I like most about the west side of Oahu is that it is very much tourists free and pretty much you get the place to yourself during sunset.

Wouldn't the West side of Oahu be better for sunrise shots? The sun is setting behind your right shoulder where as if it were sunrise the sun would be coming up almost directly in front of you . . .

I'm just saying.

Rayman102, you are right about that, but the downside is using a half a tank of gas to get there and back.

No, the sun rises on the eastern side of the island and the Waianae mountain range to the left of me would keep you from getting from the sun from that location until late morning or early afternoon. One of the more popular spots for the sunrise is Lanikai beach.

I guess I'm confused, is this North of Pearl Harbor?

And, sorry, duh of course the sun rises in the east/eastern side of the island, I guess I got my beaches mixed up.

No worries, yes it is north of Pearl harbor. I have attached an image to show the location of the photo.

you are here .

lived there for 5 years compliments of the US Army.

As I understand it, that's pretty much the end of the road up there and unless you live there, or are in tight with the locals, not some place you want to be hanging around with expensive camera equipment after the sun goes down.

It seems like some of the beaches up there are, a little less traveled and a little less photogenic than some of the spots South of Diamondhead.

Very nice shot, love the color tone.

Not totally untrue statements, but we can apply that to many places in the world today.
