Night Skies, Moonrise & Fire
The private location of Hana, removes us from
any bright city lights,
and the night-time visibility is remarkable.
Contributing to this is the presence of the
Hawaii observatories
which require minimal street lighting anywhere on these
islands (Maui, Hawaii)
so we get really clear, black night skies, filled with
twinkling stars.
Each month it is glorious to see the full moon
rising up out of the water at just after dusk...
All these moon views were photographed here on the property
Viewing the Lunar Eclipse, 2008
from the Lanai, reflected in shimmering Maui waters ~
It is a wonder on clear nights, to find oneself surrounded by
starry skies,
with the Milky Way splashing overhead, and the horizon wrapping all the way
around,
with stars sparkling all the way down to the water's edge, even below your line
of gaze.
