Ola Ka Ha - celebration of Hawaiian Arts History and Culture

A few photos from Ola Ka Ha, Iolani Palace, 2015.  

A glorious day of music and dance with liquid sunshine blessings.  This concert celebrated Iolani Palace and the alii who lived there.  Hawaiian musicians and hula halau entertained all who attended.  The event was organized by Mailani Makainai and Kaui Dalire of Ha Enterprises in partnership with Friends of Iolani Palace.

Northern Lights

Spectacular photos of the Northern Lights (also known as Aurora Borealis).

Aurora is a natural light display seen in the high latitude areas.  

They are caused by charged particles, electrons and protons,

 entering the earth's atmosphere.

Waikele Christmas Lights

This Waikele Neighborhood in Hawaii is full of Christmas Cheer.  

At first just one house, now there are nine houses lit up and synchronized to music.  It's quite a production with 14 different holiday songs.  Thousands of visitors flock to this area to enjoy the sights.  Neighbors on nearby streets have also decorated their houses.
