I don't do a lot of B&W but sometimes, an image just feels like it belongs in it. It was already late morning so not the best light but these views were breathtaking. Couldn't resist shooting and hoping that the images would be useable. I'm glad I did.

2. That's Mokoli'i Island (aka Chinamen's Hat) on the right horizon.

    Love the second. We're so used to see pics of Hawaii in vivid color that in B&W it almost looks like another planet.

    Those are beautiful, Alex.

    #2, if it weren't for the clouds, could be the surface of the moon or Mars.

    Yeah... I think that's what really appeals to me is that these shots could have been taken 300 years ago.
