The week leading up to this weekend was a stormy one...there was thunder and lightning, heavy rains, hail in some areas and it was said a tornado swept through parts of Lanikai and Enchanted Lake and it did quite a bit of damage. The weather forecast for the weekend wasn't promising, but I contacted Kenway anyway and asked if I could join him again if he went out to shoot the sunrise.
Kenway said he wanted to go to a small park in Kahaluu to shoot the sunrise...funny, I grew up on the Windward side and never even knew this park existed. It's called Laenani Park and it had a nice view of Kaneohe Bay.
I woke up Saturday morning and quickly looked outside...the ground was wet but it wasn't raining and I could actually see stars in the sky. Encouraged, I got my gear ready and headed towards Kahaluu to meet up with Kenway.
There were a lot of clouds in the sky that morning, but they seemed to be thinning out after we arrived at the park. It was a little voggy and we were hoping this would mean some nice colors would show up once the sun started to rise. The horizon started to show some colors and we started shooting. I didn't take too many photos and I wasn't able to get one of Kenway this time.
Kenway is one of the advisors for the Focus Photography club at BYU Hawaii and he asked me if I wanted to tag along with him to a photo meet. I didn't have other plans so I said I'd be happy to join him.
We left Laenani Park and made our way along the windward coast with Kenway pointing out places he likes to shot the sunrise from. We stopped at a place called Papa Ole's in Hau'ula for breakfast. They had the biggest loco moco I'd ever seen. Kenway had the "Everything Omelete" and boy it really did have everything! The thing was huge! After a quick breakfast we headed toward BYU Hawaii in Laie where we met up with some of the club members.
The club decided to head over to the Malaekahana State Recreational Area for the meet. I'd never been there before and was happy to go check it out. Once we got there we split up into a few smaller groups. I went with Kenway, Glenn Kau (the other advisor to the club) and Jessica, a student at BYU Hawaii.

Jessica was a real trooper...she was actually balancing
on a fallen tree trunk for this shot.
