Video of the week (4.2.10)
Today's video of the week comes from TheAlohaRobert on YouTube. Called simply Hawaii Time Lapse in HD, it's a mesmerizing look at the beautiful Hawaiian landscape. But I was most impressed with the active cloud formations that often travel in different directions in the same scene. It's proof of the changing winds aloft at different altitudes that pilots try to take advantage of.

Beautiful video and music--got back from a trip to the Big Island in early March and seeing the clouds/sunset from Mauna Kea was a real treat. Thanks for sharing the video, Kent!

We may just be going there next month, Mark. Can't wait.

Good for you! If I were to give one piece of advice it would be to stay long enough to see more than the Kona/Kohala coast side of the island--just make sure to plan accordingly and stay a few nights in each region so you're not making overly long drives to get places. It's a large island and the best (and really the only) way to get around is via the northern perimeter road. Must-see regions include the volcanoes national park, the Hamakua coast, Hilo, the Waimea/Kamuela area and north of there and, of course, the Kohala/Kona coast. The Ka'u region is very remote and has its charms, but it takes a very long time to get there.
