Hey, nice pictures. 
One question, where is this photo of? Ie., what island? Does the bay (or whatever this is) have a name or is it some random spot somewhere?
Thanks!

The photograph is from Laupahoehoe Beach Park on the Big Island of Hawaii. In 1946 a tidal wave swept across the village that once stood on this lava-leaf (that's what laupahoehoe means) peninsula and claimed the lives of 20 students and four teachers. A memorial in this pretty little park recalls the tragedy.
