From the moment you arrive at Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site , you quickly realize the significance of this unique place. The great templeof Kamehameha the Great, Pu'ukohola Heiau, rises majestically above the turquoise waters of the Pacific, a silent testament to the most renowned king of Hawai'i. Mailekini Heiau, the temple-turned-fort that once thundered with the sound of cannons, continues to stand guard. The sharks return most days to Hale o Kapuni Heiau, the sumberged ruins of a temple that was once dedicated to them. This is where the history-makers of Hawai'i lived and where their history comes to life.
On our first visit we met with George Enuton, the Ranger on duty who managed to convince his Chief Ranger that some Kite Aerial Pictures would be great for visitors, schools and kids, the next day Tom Benedict, Heidy and myself signed an official release form and we were set for our KAP sessions. However it took us 5 visits to finally manage to get the proper wind and light and on this last visit, december 31, 2010 around noon, we did not dare to call Tom Benedict who was probably busy with his family and friends getting ready for New Year's eve.
George, a very big Mahalo for your understanding. We, Kite Aerial Photographers, just wish there would be more open minded rangers like you. Happy new Year!!!
