Photo du jour: Pale light

To celebrate the colder season, I challenged myself to find the most "wintery" looking photo of Hawaii I had. If you pretend that water is freezing, not tropical, couldn't it be an arctic seascape?:)

{Photographed in Honolulu, but let's say it's Helsinki. :)}

    I love it!

    I don't want to ruin everything but in Helsinki there wouldn't be a sun :) There wouldn't be those beautiful lights! There would be just that foggy/grey/twilight something and water would be deep green grey :) I guess it's clear where I live - just some 350-400 km from Helsinki :)

    It takes a little bit of an effort to wrap my mind around that suggestion but if I had b/w vision like my dogs do....sure it's fah-reezing! I've been waking up to 6°C mornings. And you?

    My parents are from Fiji, so I understand what you mean by lack of wintery-ness. It looks lovely, and I envy you being in a warm place all the time :)

    Totally could be arctic! You know what's so funny--far away parts of the world seem so exotic, but they're just not really all that different from the parts we're familiar with (if that makes any sense). I was on a train in China once, heading from Beijing to Shanhaiguan, and there were fields all around me, and I just kept thinking "this could just as easily be Ohio." Such a crazy thing to think about!

    So funny... we do the same thing in Okinawa... looking for subtle changes in the air and water, but it's mostly the same tropical beauty year round!

    I think of Hawaii as being similar to Fiji and Rarotonga where it's either warm or warm and humid. Perhaps I'm wrong.
