Maui: The Photo Gallery

So I was playing around with Photoshop and my camera and decided to create some panoramic images from all over Maui. Given that I’m a novice it is rare for me to take say 10 consecutive “focused” images back to back. So you may notice some blurry spots! Anyway, they were fun to create. I got to go to the windmills on the West Maui Mountains, to Twin Falls, Kihei and even to Maui Mall (man, I’m no good at night shots!)

Anyway, here is what I ended up with! (click to see the full version of any image!)

Maui Mall: Panorama

Joe Mattson - Big Beach: Ok, this one is strange. I told Photoshop to just merge all of these images and this is what it came up with. It doesn’t make sense, but I thought it looked cool!

Lahaina Pali: Panorama (shot just below the windmills!)

Twin Falls: Panorama (Yep, there are a few blurry sections!)

Twin Falls Vertical Panorama

Kihei Regency: Panorama (took about 12 pictures to make this shot. Photoshop did a great job with the sidewalk! :D)

Hale Kanani is located in Kihei, Hawaii on the island of Maui right across from Cove Park. The property is stunning! it is a relatively new property meaning it is in great shape, and they really keep the exterior looking great. Hale Kanani has a great feel to it too. There is a very friendly feeling of “aloha” when you’re there.

This is a picture from South Kihei Road of Hale Kanani. You can tell that this place is taken care of by how clean and trimmed everything is. And this is the “not so pretty side!”

Here is another shot, very similar but just a tad cleaner.

There are tons of beautiful plants in Hawaii. Maui is home of some of the most beautiful flowers! Here’s a bunch of photos of some beautiful Hawaiian plants.

That’s it. Nothing too fancy, just a quick look at some of Hawaii’s foliage.

Worldmark is located across from Kam 2 in the city of Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.  It is located very closely to an ABC Store (very convenient!) and is easy to find.

It is very well maintained and has a professional, serious yet “tropical” feel to it.

As with the rest of the places noted here on this site, I don’t care about price or anything like that.  I’m just looking at these properties as a local here on Maui.  Worldmark Kihei is a nice looking place.  (Though I am a little biased with this because I lost my phone a while back and these guys fount it.  Talk about saving me from the dreaded loss of an unbacked up phone book!)  The staff is great too, they are very friendly and helpful at Worldmark.

Kamaole Beach Club is located on the south side of Maui in the city of Kihei, Hawaii. It is very well maintained and has a very “tropical” feel to it. It is right across the street from one of Maui’s most stunning beaches and is right next to an ABC Store (very convenient if you need something fast!)

Kamaole Beach Club doesn’t have too many recent pictures available so these are the most “real” pictures of the property available. It’s a nice place, at least from a locals point of view.

Kamaole Beach Royale is located in Kihei, Hawaii on the island of Maui. It is an older building, but it is very convenient to everything you may need in Kihei.

For an older complex they do seem to keep the exterior very clean. Kamaole Beach Royale is across the street from a stunning beach too.

This is a picture of the back of the complex. I guess it is kind of a “giant block” of a hotel. Kamaole Beach Royale doesn’t really have the “tropical” Maui feel to it. Lacking visual aloha!

This last shot is of the front of the Kamaole Beach Royale. I love the designs on the front of the building, and also the fact that the lanai can be completely enclosed (notice the shutters.) This would be really nice to block the evening heat (at least until sunset, which these guys have an amazing view of.)

This is just in front of Kam 2 beach park in Kihei, Maui. Nothing fancy, just a rusty fence.

Kihei Alii Kai is located on the island of Maui, Hawaii.  It is located very conveniently to most anything you could need.  It is an older complex meaning that Kihei Alii Kai looks a little run down.

They don’t seem to have any rules about furniture or exterior appearance of the units, or at least it isn’t enforced at Kihei Alii Kai.

You can find them at 2397 South Kihei Road.  They are within walking distance to an ABC Store, which is very convenient if you need something quick.

They also a pretty cool tennis court above their back parking lot.  I have never seen anyone up there, but it is a pretty cool use of the covered parking space.

Was walking around Kihei and found this “Keep Hawaii Kickback” bumper sticker on a power box. They sell awesome clothing and tons of other cool gear. Check them out at Kick Back Hawaii

“Out of this world” sunsets can get boring when you see them everyday.  Especially when you live here on Maui.  This picture is a photo taken away from the sunset and instead, it is focused on the landscape it is splashing with orange light.  Maui’s got a million sunset’s, here is yet another.
