First Sunrise of 2026 – The sun shines to the west of I think Hawaii island and to the east of Maui (not in picture)
Yes The Sun Rised!
Woke up early today and went to take photos of the sunrise for the first time in about five years from Diamond Head Lookout. I was one of the earliest to arrive at around 5:30 in the morning. By the time the sun rose, the area was filled with people doing the same thing. Watching the sunrise and taking photos, most with their smart phones.
Funny thing is I recharged the battery for my Canon EOS T7 camera. I brought the camera with me but forgot the battery in the charger. Good thing I also brought my old Canon Powershot S5iS camera that I bought brand new in 2008. The old thing can still take some decent shots. I also shot a few with my 2016 vintage Samsung Galaxy J7 phone.

A Beautiful Morning in Hawaii Nei
A beautiful morning view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from Magic Island Beach Park.
Steps for this morning.
Another morning at Magic Island got me walking around for a few thousand steps before I headed back to Ala Moana Center and then home.
The weather forecast for Honolulu today: Light to moderate trades will hold in place through Tuesday, with localized land and sea breezes developing in the more sheltered leeward areas. Moisture will move through today and again on Tuesday, bringing a slight increase in showers to both windward and leeward areas. – NOAA Honolulu Twitter post.
So essentially it will be a typical sunny summer day. Have a great week folks!
Can you see the waning gibbous moon?
