Milolii Beach Park, Hawaii, Aerial Footage
Road Trip to Milolii Beach Lots Subdivision from Highway 11 in South Kona on the Big Island of Hawai
Road trip to Milolii Beach Lots, actually a little less than 10 minutes instead of the 5 or 6 minutes I spoke of in the beginning of the video. Many people don't like the windy road but it is not really that bad in my opinion and if I had one of those new Hybrid vehicles, I would be charging my batteries all the way down.

Hawaii coconut plantations, Big Island, Hawaii, United States, North America
The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family) and the only species of the genus Cocos. The term coconut can refer to the whole coconut palm or the seed, or the fruit, which, botanically, is a drupe, not a nut. The spelling cocoanut is an archaic form of the word. The term is derived from the 16th-century Portuguese and Spanish word coco meaning head or skull, from the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features. Coconuts are known for their great versatility, as evidenced by many traditional uses, ranging from food to cosmetics. They form a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics. Coconuts are distinct from other fruits for their large quantity of water, and when immature, they are known as tender-nuts or jelly-nuts and may be harvested for their potable coconut water. When mature, they still contain some water and can be used as seednuts or processed to give oil from the kernel, charcoal from the hard shell, and coir from the fibrous husk. The endosperm is initially in its nuclear phase suspended within the coconut water. As development continues, cellular layers of endosperm deposit along the walls of the coconut, becoming the edible coconut flesh. When dried, the coconut flesh is called copra. The oil and milk derived from it are commonly used in cooking and frying, as well as in soaps and cosmetics. The husks and leaves can be used as material to make a variety of products for furnishing and decorating. The coconut also has cultural and religious significance in certain societies, particularly in India, where it is used in Hindu rituals. Cocos nucifera is a large palm, growing up to 30 m (98 ft) tall, with pinnate leaves 4–6 m (13–20 ft) long, and pinnae 60–90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly, leaving the trunk smooth. Coconuts are generally classified into two general types: tall and dwarf. On fertile soil, a tall coconut palm tree can yield up to 75 fruits per year, but more often yields less than 30, mainly due to poor cultural practices. Given proper care and growing conditions, coconut palms produce their first fruit in six to ten years, taking 15 – 20 years to reach peak production. Botanically, the coconut fruit is a drupe, not a true nut. Like other fruits, it has three layers: the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. The exocarp and mesocarp make up the husk of the coconut. Coconuts sold in the shops of nontropical countries often have had the exocarp (outermost layer) removed. The mesocarp is composed of a fiber, called coir, which has many traditional and commercial uses. The shell has three germination pores (micropyles) or eyes that are clearly visible on its outside surface once the husk is removed. A full-sized coconut weighs about 1.44 kg (3.2 lb). It takes around 6,000 full-grown coconuts to produce a tonne of copra. The origin of the plant is, after many decades, still the subject of debate. It has generally been accepted that the coconut originated in the Indian-Indonesia region and float-distributed itself around the world by riding ocean currents. The similarities of the local names in the Malay-Indonesian region is also cited as evidence that the plant originated in the region. For example, the Polynesian and Melanesian term niu and the Philippine and Guamese term niyog is said be based on the Malay word nyiur or nyior. O.F. Cook was one of the earliest modern researchers to draw conclusions about the location of origin of Cocos nucifera based on its current-day worldwide distribution. He hypothesized that the coconut originated in the Americas, based on his belief that American coconut populations predated European contact and because he considered pan-tropical distribution by ocean currents improbable. Thor Heyerdahl later used this as one part of his hypothesis to support his theory that the Pacific Islanders originated as two migration streams from the Canadian Pacific coast (themselves recent migrants from Asia) to Hawaii, and on to Tahiti and New Zealand in a series of hops, and another migration from South America via sailing balsa-wood rafts.

Big Island, Hawaii (They don't get much bigger than this)
One of my favorite things to do anywhere I travel, is drive around and absorb everything I come across. When I went on my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii in 2009, I hadn't really seen any cool driving videos of it. So I took up the task of filming a lot of the areas that I drove through. Not easy, driving by myself and having a heavy camera! But I did it. A little shaky at times, but I did it!
I compiled my hour's worth of driving videos into a short and sweet 4 minute montage. Here, you get the best bits of my trip. AND, you get a sweet song that I wrote and recorded just for this video, as well!
This is my first venture at the whole multi-media experience. While I am a photographer and musician, I had never worked those together, much less with video. Feel free to leave any constructive criticism, it will be well appreciated.
Now for the boring stuff:
