The sun is up. The waves are pumping. And by now i am getting tired and hungry. But before i decide to go, i continue on down to an area we call third beach and found a tidal pool that formed in the unseasonal high surf. Here i took a few shots of the iconic 101 year old kilauea lighthouse.

Feeling tired, hot (i drank 1 liter of water during the shoot) and hungry, i'm ready to call it a morning. But before i do i want to get a few shots of the waves hitting the rocks. First with the 70-200 and later with the 16-35 just for fun (i'm a sucker for a big blue sky).
