The four-million years of erosion on Kauai have etched out the lava into a spectacular canyon in the middle of the southwest side of the island.
The record setting annual rainfall continues carving new shapes.
Kauai's longest river of 19-miles runs in this valley bottom.

Hawaii lovers
Chiki and Chooki are so in love...They first met near the Kilauea Volcano, both of them are really interested in Geology, and after some time they realized that they have lots of things in common, for example they both love Hula dance and Papaya smoothie...Now life is so good in Hawaii...
Chiki and Chooki are handmade with love from Polymer clay, wire and grass.

Waipo`o Falls, North side of Waimea Canyon, Kauai, Hawaii
To give perspective to these waterfalls, notice the helicopter in the upper left of the photo.

Tursiops Rider
A Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin explodes from the bow wave of a super tanker as it moves through the San Pedro Channel, Southern California (check out the crew member at the very top of the bow--wearing the white hat). Best viewed large.
Spotted Grace
Two spotted dolphins escort a swimmer over the white, coral sand bottom of the Bahamas Banks.
Good Company
A pair of common dolphins provide escort for a dive boat heading for Catalina Island in the early morning hours.
Trade Secrets
The reflection reveals me hanging over the bow of the boat shooting essentially straight down while a swift moving Pacific Whitesided bobs and weaves in the pressure wake created by the moving boat, gliding into view to complete the frame. The combination of a wide-angle lens and 1/500 second shutter speed capture the moment. If you want to make yourself seasick, this is a good way to do it.

Liquid Thunder
A high-octane encounter with a pod of Common Dolphins as they express themselves moving west to east in the San Pedro Channel, Southern California. Pure adrenaline.
LAVA FLOWING ON THE ISLAND OF HAWAII
This photo covers about 10 feet of actively oozing molten lava called pahoehoe (pah-ho-ay-ho-ay) in Hawaiian.
It is VERY hot being this close!
This lava flow is on the Big Island of Hawaii, 2004. These will be part of a larger lava series I am working on.

Hawaii's Active Lava Flow Before the Sun Comes Up
Pre-sunrise dawn light illuminates the scene where molten lava flows out the end of massive lava tubes stemming from seven miles upslope from the flanks of Mauna Loa’s Kilauea volcano here on the island of Hawaii south side. Larger image here

Mother and calf Humpback whales receive an escort by two spotted dolphins. Hawaii. The image is quite contrasty because the sun was virtually below the horizon (of course, we waited all day for some action and then finally when this pair swims within range there's no light!!!).

O Gigantes é um bloco de palhaços para crianças. Sinceramente, é o bloco de carnaval mais lindo que eu conheço.
The Gigantes da Lira (Giants of The Lyre) carnival block is carnival parade made by clowns to children. Sincerely, it´s the beautiest I´ve ever known.
----------------------------------------------
Há três anos eu fotografo esta palhacinha noiva bem linda.
Este ano fiquei um pouquinho triste porque ela me fêz lembrar o
Diogo , que,
nos dois últimos anos sempre estava lá, com a gente.
Mas, afinal, carnaval é pra esquecer as tristezas e esta foto
fica como homenagem ao Diogão, onde ele estiver, eu sei que vai gostar.
Since three years ago, I have been clicked this charming bride clown. This year she made me a bit sad cause her vision remembered my fella Diogo , that, in the past two years was always there with us.
But, allright, Carnival is a time to forget the sadness and this one is to
hommage him, from anywhere he is today, I know he´ll like a lot.

Com Todo o Respeito.
With all due respect to the great master clown Giramundo, that is how we, Brazilians, we felt before the series of events that are indecent if repeating for decades, involving a bunch of politicians of any party and its minions, corrupt thieves and clear, without any ethical or moral. We hear hundreds of infamous excuses to explain the inexplicable and 99.9% of those who get enough to fill the public money remain in the good, without problems, as social injustice and all its terrible-products such as violence in all levels and the second worst income distribution of the world come loose in this country so beautiful and meaningless.
And enough.
Save the real clowns, popular artists and artisans of laughter. To them all my respect and admiration. There are a handful of politicians in Brazil which enjoy a tenth of that connection, even.
=============
Com todo respeito ao grande palhaço mestre Giramundo, é assim que nós, brasileiros, nos sentimos diante da sucessão de acontecimentos indecentes que vêm se repetindo há décadas, envolvendo a cambada de polÃticos de qualquer partido e seus asseclas, corruptos e ladrões evidentes, sem nenhuma ética nem moral. Já escutamos centenas de desculpas infames para explicar o inexplicável e 99,9% dos que se fartaram de se encher do dinheiro público continuam na boa, sem problemas, enquanto a injustiça social e todos os seus terrÃveis sub-produtos como a violência em todos os nÃveis e a segunda pior distribuição de renda do mundo come solta neste paÃs tão lindo e sem sentido.
