I'm liberating my old photos from Instagram and uploading the ones I still find interesting here instead, usually one at a time.

A walk around Makapuʻu

Photos taken in July 2013, at or near Makapu'u Point and/or Makapu'u Beach Park, on Oahu, in Hawaii.
A man, at Makapu'u Lookout, takes a photo of the view towards Makapu'u Beach. The view includes a beach, the azure colored Pacific Ocean, and the steep cliffs of the Koʻolau mountains. In the background is the Mōkapu Peninsula, near Kaneohe A view of Makapuʻu Beach from above, on the side of the Kalanianaole Highway (State Rte. 72). Behind the beach are the steep cliffs of the Koʻolau mountain range. A paraglider is hanging in the air. A wave crashes on the dark black rocky shoreline at Makapuʻu Beach Park. In the background is Mānana Island (a 63-acre offshore tuff cone known as Rabbit Island because of its resemblance to a large rabbit's head rising out of the sea). A paraglider hangs in the overcast sky above Makapuʻu.

Dunite xenoliths in picrite, Koʻolau. Due to their high density and low viscosity, picrites are the only tholeiitic melts that can carry ultramafic xenoliths to the surface. In Hawaiʻi, these are usually crustal cumulates of tholeiitic affinity.

Tandem paragliders soar above the Koʻolau Range. They hike their gear to a launch point before catching updrafts that lift them high into the sky. Their flights end in a grassy field near the Makapuʻu Beach parking lot.

The crumbly volcanic rock of Ko'olau Range, there is a road that wraps around its base, and on the other side is the slope that leads to the Makapu'u lighthouse. A paraglider has a tandem rider, and it is closed like the rainbow. Blue sky with wisps of clouds.

Back on Oʻahu and Big Island in late January and super excited to get to (re)visit mantle and crustal xenoliths of the Koʻolau Honolulu Volcanics as well as those of Hualālai, Mauna Kea, and unusual Mauna Loa ultramafic mantle xenoliths hosted by tholeiitic basalt.

More pics from Ho‘omaluhia Botanical Garden that we visited during our recent trip to Oahu. I think I will post the bird pics that I took in a separate thread. 3/3
A picture of a Gold Dust Day Gecko (according to Google) on a green leaf that is succulent in appearance. A picture of a mongoose on the ground. Something I learned on our trip: mongoose were introduced to Oahu in order to control the rat population, but it was done before ecology was a thing, and they didn’t realize that rats are nocturnal and mongoose are active during the day. It was a failed effort. Another moody picture of the Koʻolau Range - a mountain range in Oahu as seen from the Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden. A cloudy, brooding sky hangs over the tops of the mountain, lightly dancing across the peaks. It’s my favorite pic I took of the mountain range.

We’re back home now and I want to slowly begin sharing pics from our trip to Oahu. On our second full day there, still jet-lagged, hubs and I took an Uber out of Waikiki, and we went to the Hoʻomaluhia botanical garden. We hiked around for a few hours. Stunning views, incredible plants & birds. 1/3
A view of the Koʻolau Range - a mountain range on Oahu - as seen from the lake in the Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden. The mountains are reflected on the surface of the lake. The sky is mostly cloudy but a wide patch of blue is visible in the center. A partial view of the Koʻolau Range - a mountain range in Oahu - as seen from the lake in the Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden.

White clouds are in the sky, lightly kissing the mountain; a muted patch of blue sky is off-center.

Releturas que me fan feliz.
Loitemos coma Koolau por defender a vida, a dignidade.
Nunca estiven nos Mares do Sur. Pode que nunca vaia.
Estiven moitas veces coa cabeza e o corazón.
Cada vez que os releo son feliz.
Soñemos con aventuras!

No, Mark Zuckerberg does not own a volcano in Hawaii; he owns over 2,300 acres of land on the island of Kauai, which includes agricultural land, oceanfront properties, and the site of his developing Koʻolau Ranch compound and underground bunker

My hometown in the Koʻolau Caldera. Kailua Member of the Koʻolau Basalt and a dike of (likely) basaltic andesite. Reference location is super close to here. I recieved a grant that will cover next semester (that unfortunately has to be spent at a Utah university) but would rather be back here.

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?
Zoe KleinmanTechnology editor BBC Mark Zuckerberg is said to have started work on Koolau Ranch, his sprawling 1,400-acre compound on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, as far back as 2014. It is set to include a shelter, complete with its own energy and food supplies, though the carpenters and electricians working on the site were banned from talking about it by non-disclosure agreements, according to a report by Wired magazine. A six-foot wall blocked the project from view of a nearby road. Asked last year if he was creating a doomsday bunker, the Facebook founder gave a flat "no".
