A Swing by the Sea

Big Island, Hawaii

Sheila and I went for a morning walk on the beach, 10 minutes walking distance from our condo in Waikoloa. We were told this is a rocky beach with less sand but decided to check it out anyway. As we approached the beach I was stunned by the unique combination of pure white rocks and the dark brown/black rocks (which are due to the Lava which had flowed in to the sea long time back). Adding to this breathtaking contrast is a line of coconut trees along the beach.
























There were not many people around except few joggers, a family, an old lady and a guy with a bike. As we were walking along, spotted few whales breaching the water at a distance and a line of early morning sea kayakers  rowing their kayaks out to the ocean.












As we turned a corner, we were taken aback to find a wooden swing made of  a tree trunk hung between two trees. A swing at the edge of the sea!!! A fitting finale to the stunning scenery and a pleasant morning walk.
