The sky was just spectacular in the windward side of Oahu today. My girlfriend just bought her new digital camera and we took these pictures. Recent cameras have many options to take different kinds of scenes and pictures just come out as almost well as real sceneries. 今日のウィンドワードサイド。ウィンドワードとは風上の事で、貿易風が常に北東から吹いてるここオアフではカネオへ、カイルア、ラニカイの方がウィンドワードと呼ばれる地域。下の写真は彼女が最近買ったデジタルカメラで撮ったもの。最近のカメラは撮った写真がオートで色鮮やかに加工されたりするみたい。
The Quicksilver Big Wave Contest in Memory of Eddie Aikau was cancelled due to the lack of consistency of swell, though more than 15,000 people gathered at Waimea Bay to look forward watching such a huge wave. It was decided to cancel it because "Eddie would not go".. Anyway, it's been a little while to go back into the water because of the typical winter minimal southerly swell. I enjoyed some chest-high waves at Point Panic yesterday.
