Foto Friday: Sunset, on the Rocks, Twist of OrangeThis isn't a very good picture (it's under-exposed), but thanks to the scaling, you can't tell!Sunset at Mai Poina Oe Iau Beach, Maui I love pictures where the sky reflects in the sand. I get this accidentally; every time I try to do it, it doesn't quite work out. On the far right, a headland on Maui; to the left of that, the island of Lanai; just visible over on the far left, the island of Kahoolawe. For ten years or so, Niles has had a Hawaii calendar to keep track of his appointments and so forth. Last year I sorted through the available selection to find a good one. No...no...sniff my pictures are better than these...no...whoa! One calendar had a picture of this very scene (on a different day), but it was a good picture, with the rocks gleaming gold in the sunset. Man, wish I could do that. It now occurs to me that taking the picture while the sun is still up might help. Write that one down! (I usually end up taking more pictures after it has set, when the cloud colors are prettier, as here.) Labels: Foto Friday, Hawaii Friday, March 20, 2009

Foto Friday: Surf Nazis Must Die!One of WWII's more obscure skirmishes came when a group of specially-trained German windsurfing paratroopers were dropped by Japanese forces off the coast of Hawaii, as a prelude to the invasion of the islands. It didn't go well. Windsurfers at Ho'okipa, Maui OK, no, that's just Ho'okipa on the Fourth of July. But they do look like they're attacking, don't they? By the way, this was posted on Friday the 20th, and if you don't remember seeing it then, it must be because the Nazi windsurfing paratroopers have brainwashed you. Make that Nazi windsurfing ninja paratroopers. Now we're cookin'! By the way, Surf Nazis Must Die is the name of a real movie. It's allegedly not very good.

The Decline of Civilization, Part MMXXXVIII: What's Happenin'?What's happenin', young barista, is that C.M. Kornbluth is looking more and more prescient with each passing year. This saddens me, because people who sagely cite Kornbluth tend to not know who the rubes are, if you get my drift. And no, I do not want a locococamochafrakkincino. Saaay, if I buy my beans at Costco, I won't have to deal with braindead Starbucks employees. Of course, Costco's the seventh circle of Hell, so there's a certain trade-off. Monday, March 16, 2009

Foto Friday: Double TroubleRainbows over Pukalani, Maui Gorgeous, gorgeous rainbows that morning. Was very tired. Tried to get photos anyway. Tripped in the weeds and fell on my face. I could hear the rainbows laughing. By the time I'd gotten into position, they'd faded. As I drove away, they brightened again, and followed me halfway home, taunting me. Rainbows are evil.

Foto Friday: Mt. RAY-nierWatch out! Mt. Rainier has a death ray and it's not afraid to use it! (The clouds, see, look kinda like a ray. No? You don't think so? Well what do you know about it, anyway?) The keen-eyed among will have noticed that this is not Maui! I thought you might like a break from all the tropical beauty. Also, this picture comes up in my screensaver rotation and I keep wondering why I haven't posted it. Labels: Foto Friday, Washington
