The title sets the tone for the entire photograph.
Brilliant!

Moana

How rare to have seen this on www.taggalaxy.de
when I searched for my name. "Moana."

This is a rare poster/photo from the original Moana Hotel
located in Waikiki, O`ahu. I bought my copy when Liberty
House closed several years ago.

There was only 1 copy available and I purchased it.
It makes me think of my favorite saying which I created.

~You're born an original, don't die a copy.~MKR

Aloha from Hawaii,
Moana:)

Underneath the depth of dof and bokeh
comes forth this beautiful creation by Mother Nature.

It is fragile, delicate, and yet hearty which lends
strength as it emerges into the light.

Mesmerizing,
Moana :)

In Hawaii, it is well known that when a child is born,
the name you give that child has, "Mana" or "Power,"
that follows that child until he/she passes away.
You actually become your name.

Being named, "MOANA" after the, "Hawaiian Ocean" bears true.
I love the ocean, any form of water. If I could breathe
water instead of air, I would.

Aloha,
Moana :)

This past week we had a storm in Hawaii which
brought snow to Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on
the Big Island of Hawaii.

There is no comparison to a beautiful winter scene
such as this. This is a dream to me.

Aloha,
Moana :)
