In early September the wife and I returned to Hawaii for our 15th wedding anniversary. We had a great time and Hawaii makes an incredible photographic contrast to the Rocky Mountain region. The colors and landforms are spectacular. One morning we did some snorkeling in Hanauma Bay, which is near Honolulu. After we had our fill of that, it was time for some photography of the bay. I can see why this is such a popular place to snorkel and scuba. Thanks for looking.

Nikon D200, 28-105mm lens @ 28mm, circular polarizer

Hanauma Bay is a great place to play in the water. It's gorgeous there as your great shot shows!

Ah, yes. What a phenomenal place. The color of the water in Hawaii is unreal and you show it at it's best right here. :toast:

Beautiful scene, Doug. It gave me visual vertigo. At first I didn't realize the small dots were people on a beach.

Really like the color of the water!
