Kihei Maui

2005.APR.04
Taken with disposable film camera, so the perspective is a little "fisheyed", zoomed out, or panoramic.

Coming from kihei HWY31 to the intersection. We are headed straight at Puu Kukui. After the intersection is reached, IO valley and Kahului (airport) is on the right. And Maalaea (marina) will be on the left.

Clouds always cover the top of the small mountain Puu Kukui everyday. Winds converge everyday in the valley between the two volcanoes, Haleakala and Puu Kukui. That is why this area makes this Island the Valley Isle.

Some day windmills will be built to take advantage of the constant wind. Planners suggest that they will probably be on the left side of this picture: somewhere on the bottom slopes of PuuKukui.
