UH Hilo International Nights 2008


Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

Hawaii is a mix-plate of cultures. This is a wonderful 2-night event held annually by the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Bev and I were lucky to be able to shoot it! It’s just so cool to see the wide-range of cultures here perform.

Hawaiian Snow, Mauna Kea

Mauna Kea, Big Island of Hawaii — Elevation 13,796 FT

The snow up Mauna Kea recently has been awesome! I haven’t seen snow for ages and it was so much fun going up to play with Bev and a bunch of friends.

We made snowmen. :)

“SNOWMEN!!!”, these kids yelled as they passed by. It’s always fun watching the local Hawaiian kids in the snow.

"SNOWMEN!!!!!", they yelled as they passed by... not a common sight in Hawaii

*** Warning: Make sure to use high SPF sunscreen and wear shades if going up.
