Some lovely beach scenes from Solomon's Island. I used a magenta filter to enhance the setting sun creating a lovely pink glow on the beach area. (not a public beach)
We are so sad about the terrible fires in Lahaina, Kula and Kihea. Here are some memories of our visits there in 2010 and 2015. I think we have visited 5 times, but the older ones are mostly slides. We visited Kula Lodge on almost every trip, but so far I think it is still there, although a lot of places nearby are badly damaged. In Lahaina, we visited the Old Lahaina Luau, stayed at the Makai (Sunset) Inn, took the semi submersible submarine from the Lahaina harbor, walked Front Street and saw the huge banyan tree and more. We have also stayed in Kihea, but I haven't heard much about where the fires are there.
We visited the Jefferson Patterson Park kayak launch area, the re-created Indian Village and the barn in Calvert County. The site located on the Patuxent River was involved in the war of 1812 Battle of St. Leonard Creek and has archeological evidence dating back to 7500 BC. It was a fairly warm day and probably nice to be out on the water. We had a pleasant little picnic in the shade. We have mostly visited during big events for the Celtic Festival, the New York Bee Gees and the hot air balloon festival, so it was different to see it quiet and peaceful.
