Sunrise - Poipu, Hawaii

Hello from Poipu on the south shore of Kauai, Hawaii.

Just arrived here for work a few hours ago. I was supposed to be here last weekend after Thanksgivings. Unfortunately, plans change as they do forcing me to arrive a week later than planned. I hadn’t planned on doing any shooting this morning as I only went to sleep at 2am. Since I was awake at 7 (10am east coast body time) I got up and saw the sunrise and the very dramatic color filling the eastern clouds. Of course, I couldn’t miss it.

If you looked over your balcony in the hotel beach are where I’m seeing you would’ve seen a crazy guy running around barefoot--good thing I had minimalist shoe running experience--from spot to spot. Lava rock is not very barefoot friendly no matter how minimalist shoe experienced you are.

Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my GoPro camera down to the surf when I first went down there--probably because I didn’t believe the possibilities of the morning. You’ll still see the surf crash on the shore, the clouds run by, even people on the far shore doing their morning beach combing.

Cheers

Tom
