Sunset at the Fairmont

Sunrise at the Fairmont was fun but of course the sunsets were gorgeous as well although I only spent the first evening there trying to capture one at the hotel. The voggy sky also helped, turning the atmosphere very red, something I'm only used to seeing from Mauna Kea's summit well above the vog layer.

Just a few minutes earlier and the sun was behind this cloud. It was quite odd because the higher clouds were actually moving quite quickly yet there was little or no wind which made the warm and humid evening temperature a little uncomfortable. I like my trade winds and the slightly cooler temperatures on the windward side!

Later on, well after sunset and just before moving onto the beach bar, I took another photo of the beach and cove at the Fairmont Orchid - helped somewhat by a flood light somewhere behind me they'd trained onto the sandy beach. The water was so calm that the reflections of the palms and evening sky were very pretty.
