This is one of the first spots in all of Hawaii that gets to bear witness the rising sun. On this day, myself and my good friend John were the only ones out there shooting this location. Something about this scene always makes me feel alive, like only a sunrise can.
A good sunrise just seems to fill me with energy to keep me going throughout the day. This little cove off the side of the road in Kalapana really did it for me. If you've been to Kalapana, then you know how special that area is, though sadly, much of the coastline looks different now since the last eruption of Kilauea. I've heard this area is no longer there, but I haven't confirmed.
I've printed this image and placed it above the beds in several of our vacation rentals almost as a headboard and gotten so many comments on it. I guess other people love waking up to this as much as I do!
