Waimanalo Beach and the Windward Skies!

Looking west just after sunset from the same beach as yesterday's posted image. The Mokulua Islands (Na Mokulua) are in view in the center of frame. Launch your kayak or canoe from Lanikai and paddle out for a wonderful morning or afternoon on its beaches... (leave early, because they are tiny islands and fill up quickly.)

The 'Nalo beaches are also known for their abundance of ironwood trees.

For best viewing, view on black screen.

Windward Skies by Ten Feet

I’ve been thinking about the things I miss
When night comes around
It’s for familiar skies I wish
When will I see you again?

Sweet the days of using no refrain
You spread a little sunshine
And then pour on the rain
When will I feel you again?

(Chorus)
And the Windward skies sing lullabies to me
Shine when you want, rain while you can
I’ll understand, I really, really do

Light up night over Makuapu‘u and blow with all your might
But leave Kane‘ohe safe and keep Kailua alive
From La‘ie to 'Nalo, let your love shine

When the misty morning dew blanket the windward’s rain
And the Ko‘olau range stands tall and signals the way
I will return, on that sweet day

(Extended Chorus)
And the Windward skies sing lullabies to me
Shine when you want, rain while you can
I’ll understand, I really, really do

And the Windward skies they make me sigh and feel so blue
Now that I’m away, left to counting days
Please understand, that when I cry I cry for you
Some days I can't shake these blues
That’s when I’m longing for you

(Repeat Extended Chorus)
