Fiery Oahu sunset near Ala Wai Harbor

I’ve shown a couple of similar photos before, but while sitting on our lānai looking out over Ala Wai Harbor, I just couldn’t stop shooting. I kept going until there was very little light left. Meanwhile, they were gearing up for the luau six floors down. Between the warm tropical breezes, the music, and the display of light, this was a magical night.
