This is the Makapu’u Lighthouse  sits on Makapuu Point which is the extreme southeastern point of the island of Oahu. 

According to Hawaiian legend, Makapu`u was a supernatural being who, after arriving from Tahiti, took up residence on the point now bearing her name. This being’s defining feature was her set of eight bright eyes, which is reflected in her name Makapu`u, Hawaiian for bulging eye. On October 1, 1909, the light from another bright, bulging eye was seen on the rocky point of Makapu`u as the giant lens in the Makapu`u lighthouse was illuminated for the first time.

I’m super excited to have this new Blog going!!!!  I absolutely love the large photographs I will be able to display on this Blog. 

Please be patient in the building of it though, I have never used WordPress before so I’m pretty much stumbling through it right now : ) 

There are a couple of Photos I have taken here in Hawaii in the header… take a peak and let me know what you think!

More to come!
