It had been stormy all day while a front passed through and I was working inside when I looked out and saw that the sky had suddenly cleared and the sunset was going off! I quickly grabbed my camera and ran outside firing off as many shots as I could without paying particular attention to my camera settings. Luckily, a few shots came out okay. This and the next shot were the best that came out of the series...

This is the second shot taken as the sky was clearing after a major storm front had passed. Shot from my building's hallway end overlooking the Kailua pier in Kona. The sun had already set and the high storm clouds were catching on fire. Paul (Microsoft co-founder) Allan's mega-yacht is visible to the left in the bay with his mega-mansion hidden by the trees on the point. Goes to show that the best things in life are free...

This shot taken at Kua Bay was actually photographed by a friend with a digital point & shoot which I adjusted a bit in Photoshop. Its low-resolution and cliche subject matter is compensated by the great framing and spectacular sky.
