"My life is full of memories of experiences that are of greater importance to me that the mere recollection of things and happenings. Unless I reacted to the mood of this place with some intensity of feeling, I would have found it a difficult and shallow undertaking to attempt a photograph." -- Ansel Adams.

Driving by Kaneohe Bay one afternoon I saw this boat parked in the ocean, and I knew right away I wanted to come back in the morning and capture an image of it during glorious Hawaiian sunrise. In fact, I find Hawaiian sunrises at least as exciting as apline glow in the mountains. With exactly this photograph in mind, I had no difficulty getting up early the next morning and driving back to this spot.
