Sunday Final: Epic Day Part III

Pictures just don't do the view justice.
Throw in the fact that it was a beautiful day, and well, you got epic written all over it.
View from the top, Windward Oahu:



Flat Tire Land is about ten miles away:



I needed a shorter lens to get the whole thing in.
Below, is Makapu'u Beach and Sea Life Park:



Then to top it off, a para glider took off to the left of us.
Looks like there were two guys up there:



Wave to the flying contraption!



Boy, I could have stayed up there for hours.
Standard pic with bike:



Guess what my new title pic is going to be.
When you get to the upper platform, you look directly down on the lighthouse:




I think the information said the lighthouse is about 400 feet above sea level, so the platform is a couple of hundred feet above.
Next time I make it up here, I'm bring along some food and hanging out for a bit.
Here's a short video:



Here's the pillboxes and a pan down to Makapu'u beach:



I have to admit, I get a bit of vertigo so I wasn't getting too close to the edge.
Still, if you look far enough, I think I saw the edge of the world, somewhere over there:



That's about it.
I have some other images, but I'll put them up tomorrow.
Makapu'u lighthouse trail, worth another go.
For sure.
