Before Christmas, Hilo, Hawaii

Akaka Falls

The trees just stand there, yet I could feel they are so much alive. All was quite, only thing you can hear is the sound of wind blowing through the leaves.

All the tranquility reminds me of a joyful afternoon spent in a garden near my Grandparent’s house at my hometown when I was very little; or maybe a tiny evening adventure with my school best friends exploring the “undiscovered” city corners after school/when the parents are out ;). I was thinking: all the time we adults keep searching for happiness when we feel dreaded and worn by the city life, may be we just forgot to simply look around, or just take a step out of our comfort zones, or the cages built in our own minds in a city life of routines – we came from nature, yet we have kept ourselves further away from it.

So, where does this lead to?

The Beach!

About an hour later, the weather got better and the sun came up 🙂

Into the sea at dusk. The waves were quite choppy that day.

Before Christmas, Hawaii:

Lava trees

The weather in Hilo is forever unpredictable. But just as what the household owner says, the worst weather in Hilo is still the best compared to anywhere else! One second it’s sunny, the next rain stars to pour. More amazingly, the rain only goes where the cloud goes. So one area is raining, while you can see half a mile away the road is sunny as beachside 🙂
