Hawai'i Aerial Photography : The first three shots were taken from a 767 Hawaiian Airlines Jet. (Also a few at the end of this gallery were from a jet)

In 2005 I took a seaplane tour of O'ahu. It would have been great if I hadn't gotten extremely air sick.

Photos are in order of flying from Sand Island around Oahu's southern tip, and up the eastern shoreline. By the time we got to the North Shore, I was only able to get a couple of shots off before passing out from airsickness. Will try again one day. Maybe.

Big Island, Hawai'i

Kauai, Hawai'i : Kauai is known as the Garden Island, yes, it rains alot

I was on assignment to Kauai, but stayed 2 more days to see a bit of the island. Headed north. First stop was to the historic 52-foot-high Kilauea Point Lighthouse (not operable) and Bird Sanctuary on Kauai's North Shore.

Barely made it in time for the sunset on the amazing and very recognizable Na Pali Coastline. (must return one day!)

In the morning before my flight back, I went to Waimea Canyon which is the largest canyon in the Pacific and truly a dramatic sight to behold, even though the day I went it was very cloudy. The canyon measures 10 miles long, 1 mile wide, and more than 3,500-feet deep. It was carved thousands of years ago by rivers and floods that flowed from Mount Waialeale's summit. The lines in the canyon walls depict different volcanic eruptions and lava flows that have occurred over the centuries. Even though smaller than the Grand Canyon of Arizona, Waimea Canyon rivals the beauty. Numerous lookouts and hikes offer terrific views of every aspect of this natural wonder. The canyon is protected by the Koke'e State Park which encompasses 4,345 acres of land and has 45 miles of trails that run through the canyon and the nearby Alakai Swamp. The elevation makes the air 10-15 degrees cooler than in the valley and by afternoon many areas are often shrouded in clouds. It's a very twisty long 40-mile drive to the canyon, even though a local I asked said it was a 'short' drive.

Arizona, Sedona : Sedona is not only amazingly breathtaking in its regged red rock beauty, but it's also known for its high concentration of active energy and power. Ley lines run through the Sedona area. These ley lines are natural magnetic currents. Often, they are ancient roads or pathways, visible from the air. Sedona is the only spot on our Earth that has four major vortexes within only a few square miles. These vortexes are; Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, and Boyton Canyon Ley lines form a sacred geometric pattern across our Earth with universal repercussions. Bell Rock and Airport Mesa vortexes in Sedona are connected to other major electrical vortexes on Mt. Everest, Mt. Ararat in Eastern Turkey and Mt. McKinley (Denali) in Alaska. The magnetic vortex at Cathedral Rock is connected to the major magnetic vortex of Glastonbury Tor in Britain, a site known for healing regeneration. Ley line systems are known for healing and renewal of the life force. The vibrational force of the ley line/vortex/grid system in Sedona is the number seven. As Sedona is said to be built over an ancient Lemurian city, it is interesting to note that seven is also the number of Lemuria. From the beginning of time, the mystical code of numbers and vibrations, translated into sound and light patterns, has been at the root of all ancient knowledge and belief. And the ley line/vortex/grid system has been the power by which it is transferred. There is a oneness to be felt with the universe which seems to come more easily in a vortex or healing circle in Sedona. And a responsibility to return that which is given knowledge and spirit . . . and peace.The above information is based on: "Ley Lines Link Sedona To All Earth's Power Spots" by Kathie Dame-Glerum
