A Whale of a Sunset....

The four of us - me, Michael, Ami & Kona (on brief sabbatical from house arrest - see "Kona Blues") - had just stopped in at a favorite little local haunt - the Tiki Lounge - for some good live  music.  We departed minutes before sunset so decided to make the trek all the way across the street to take in the view.  It was so quick, and quite beautiful, in a simple way.

Just seconds after the globe descended below the horizon - no, not the green flash - but a big whale flying up and out of the ocean, back lit by the afterglow, perfectly silhouetted and so clear.  It was a huge breach - full body jump,  followed by a huge splash.  For the next 10 minutes we watched several more whales frolicking right at the horizon line.  It was really something to see!

What an amazing way to end a work week!
