Sunset Water Play At Makena Cove

Makena Cove at sunset.

When I first arrived at Makena Cove to shoot a sunset a month or so ago, it didn’t really look like it was going to amount to anything. That’s the way it is here. Sometimes the sunsets work and sometimes they fizzle.

I’m glad I stayed. As it turned out, it ended up being a fabulous sunset, but the show didn’t begin until the sun was below the horizon. It just proves that a mentor of mine was right when he told me of sunsets a long time ago, “It isn’t over until it’s really over.”

While I was watching the sun sink in and out of the clouds, I was mesmerized by the movement of the water as the light changed, and walked around the beach capturing some of those moments. Here are a few of those shots. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I was making them.

And here’s another of that unforgettable sunset scene. I just couldn’t leave until it was really, really over.
