Tourism is the lifeblood of Hawai'i's economy. The recession has taken a severe toll on paradise. Hotel rooms are plentiful with some pretty amazing deals available on all of the islands. Airfares are the lowest they have been in years. With the glorious weather we've been experiencing lately, there is not a better time to visit the islands than right now. Tripod mounted Canon 30D with remote and Canon EF 18-55 mm lens. Aperture Priority AE. 5/01/2009@3:43:19 pm HST. TV 1/250 AV 13.0 ISO 100 WB Auto. Photomatix Pro 3 HDR tone mapping. Orton Effect.

Dear Clark; Just had to come back and see this again. It has been so exciting for you to have won the challenge that led up to you being posted on the front page. It is actually two honors here that you have claimed and I am so happy for you. It is your undisputed talent that has earned you this honor. I had just arrived on Maui when you and I came to this special beach, took our photos and talked with that couple who was going to be married here the next morning. Then we had those deliceous fish tacos from that vendor who is always along the side of the road. Special memories of a special place. Thank you for asking me to bring you here. ~Marjie

Use coral safe sunscreen. We have plumera trees in California. When I arrived in Maui, Hawaii, I wasn't sure if that was a Plumera Tree I was seeing. Nothing like we grow them here. Ah, the smell. My old Cannon D-360L 1.3 Meg |cir. 1996ish, didn't quite capture the shot.

Congratulations on POTD, yes the recession is taking it's toll everywhere. I was just a Zoning Compliance Officer, a couple of months ago, now a Building & Zoning Officer, and we are going to lose 3 officers in Oct..that leaves 4 to do the whole county..called doing more with less..

Heaven on earth! Congratulations on your POTD, Clark, and your tourism 'plug' is so inviting. If I hadn't just come home from kidney surgery, it would have been tempting to book a couple of tickets for our 50th anniversary! Hard to imagine it's been 25 years since we were there.

Absolutely Spectacular! We were in Hawai'i twice over the past year. We stayed in Kona and toured the Big Island on a Vacation last summer. Then my wife and I went to Kaua'i and Honolulu for our honeymoon at the end of January/early February. Both trips were spectacular. This photo is absolutely amazing. Very well done. Thank you for sharing it and keep on shooting. Donald - San Francisco, CA
