21.05 Keilia Hike to Peak, contrasting wild and calm weather on each side of mountain. 21.06 Lighthouse in rain
Swell ocean swells viewed from cliff. Gale-force winds were intimidating, restricting our stay at the peak. A view from the trail of a blowhole. The Makua Valley, viewed from the summit in torrid conditions. The breakers from the side, show a broadside not easily seen from the shore. The winds, clouds and mountains combined to create a dramatic atmosphere. Quite taken in by the number of swells forming and of course, the colors Near a 'pillbox' on Lighthouse walk following heavy rain. We suppose that's the lighthouse. Editor after taking a good soaking following heavy rains. Stops to rest before 'pillbox' after running to get out of rain; then blue skies return. Another captivating scene on a rather, wait for it,...dull Hawaiian day. Standing below 'pillbox' observing the horizon in case US radar fails. Cheers, Jenni and Jeffrey
