My Own Private Hawai'i.

"The first experience can never be repeated. The first love, the first sun-rise, the first South Sea Island, are memories apart, and touched a virginity of sense."

- Robert Louis Stevenson.

It could almost be a sunrise somewhere in the South Seas - with the warm closeness of the air, the quality of light and subtle humid mist - only if it weren't for those tower blocks.

If I closed my eyes I could be back on the Big Island, but only for a moment.
