The start of the new year brought me to Hawaii, and the last morning I was on the North Shore of Oahu I made my way to Sunset Beach. The previous evening had provided a nice sunset and who know what the morning would bring. While the sunrise and sunsets were not textbook while I was on Oahu it did provide for some interesting opportunities. The image which would have been posted on January 6th consists of a quiet morning on Sunset Beach. While the scene seems quite tranquil there were some surfers nearby scouting the waves since the prior day has provided for some good surf.

For the first part of January I have been traveling and with limited internet access, leaving me a little behind on posting. Anyways here is the image which would have been posted on December 30th. After leaving Denver on Christmas Day with seven inches of snow, a record for the day, I made it to San Diego for a few days. One morning I made it to Shelter Island where I found this sculpture. After trying to get a good angle I was able to come up with the following image. The sculpture itself is the Tunaman’s Memorial and is a symbol of courage of the fisherman who once operated out of San Diego Bay.
