Unity in Green

Two banyan trees intertwined into one. Set on a tropical lush hillside on the winding road of Kohala Mountain Road, Kona Kohala, Big Island, Hawaii. Also referenced as a ficus, the enormous roots sprawl from the tree to expand in epic proportions. Vines, branches, and other vegetation create the appealing and impressive treea€™s presence. Similar to the trees found in Cambodia, Gibbosa, Moss, Prohm, and ancient ruins throughout UNESCO Heritage sites

Waianapanapa Sunrise

The Road to Hana is an amazing and probably Maui's most popular drive. One of the must stops on the way is the black sand beach. The water is cold, treacherous and shark infested. Waianapanapa State Park boasts a black sand beach thata€™s simply unparalleled on the island of Maui, or anywhere else for that matter. Ita€™s nestled in a private cove, the pitch black granules glisten, dark and mysterious a€” there is something about it that draws people here. Created long, long ago by the rough surf pounding on a fresh, bubbling lava flow, courtesy of Haleakala. It took a millennia or more to be ground down into a beach. The beauty of the turquoise coastal beaches of Hawaii are almost indistinguishable from those of the Bahamas, French Polynesia, Malau, Hawaii, Cancun, Costa Rica, Florida, Maldives, Cuba, Fiji, Bora Bora, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Navagio Beach, Shipwreck Beach, Smugglers Cove, Zakynthos, Ionian Islands, or other tropical vacation travel destinations
