A Hawaiian black crab, also known as ‘a’ama and rock crab. Apparently you can eat them – if you can catch them.

A cool fence built entirely out of lava rock that we passed on our way back from the green sand beach.

On Papakōlea Green Sand Beach

Well, here was the view from actually down on Papakōlea green sand beach. If you’re anything like me, by now you’re thinking it’s a bit of a stretch to call it green. More like green-ISH sand beach if you ask me. I think it’s more sort of a gold colour and I think it reproduced fairly accurately in this photo. Perhaps in the shade when it’s less sparkly it might appear a bit more green. Either way it is definitely different than any of the other beaches in Hawaii being ‘white’ or black sand, so it was something cool to see at least once.

Oh yeah, so here’s that green sand beach I’ve been mentioning the last couple of posts. It was pretty cool to finally reach it after the long hike. I’ll show more of a close-up of the sand in an upcoming post.

This was another interesting bit of nature we came across on our hike to the green sand beach. I liked the contrast between the different colours of everything in this scene.

Littered Beach

We passed this section of shoreline on the southern tip of the big island on our way to see a green sand beach. It was an interesting spot because of all the driftwood and garbage that had washed ashore. I used some extra processing on this photo to bring out the details of the ground and clouds.

The black sand beach at Pololu Valley was also quite rocky. When I spotted this red rock in the midst of all the grey ones I knew I had to get a photo with it.
