Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
This winter, we were fortunate to witness the summit eruption of Kilauea volcano within Halemaumau crater. Over the course of two months, we spent our weekends taking photographs and hiking the national park. Here are a few of the selected images from our visits.
Hawaii Volcanoes is one of my favorite national parks because of its biodiversity. Starting from sea level to 13,677 feet, the park terrain changes from barren lava fields to lush rain forests. While I've always enjoyed visiting the coastal trails, my favorite area to photograph was the Wahinekapu steam vents. With the increased volcanic activity, the vents were absolutely beautiful during the early morning light.
Death Valley
Death Valley is my favorite and most visited national park. I think it's because I live on a tropical island that I find joy in the different landscape the desert provides. I love the open salt flats, sand dunes, and rocky canyons.
Huihui Restaurant, Kaanapali Beach Hotel Maui
Kaanapali Beach Hotels new beachfront restaurant pays homage to the tradition of Hawaiian wayfinding. Meaning "star constellation", Huihui’s menu is a blend of local flavors and features signature items with Hawaiian inspired cooking.
Red Rock Canyon
If you're visiting Las Vegas and you need a quick outdoor escape from the casinos, Red Rock Canyon is the place to go. This National Conservation Area is just 25 miles from the Vegas strip. It features a 13-mile scenic drive and about two dozen hiking trails.
My latest trip to the canyon offered an interesting opportunity. It was a bright and sunny day, but distant mountain ranges were hazy due to California's wildfires. This created a beautiful layered effect in many of my photographs.
