[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Continuing my Maui/Hawaii album.
This shot was taken at Lahaina. The image shows a Banyard that covers the whole square. In theory this tree came originally from India and it is over 100 years old, its branches spread right across the main square generating “secondary” trees. I was really amazed, never seen something like it.

Lahaina is a destination that is experienced by two million people, or 83% of all Maui visitors, annually. Lahaina town is the second most visited spot on Maui after beaches. The historic town, is nestled between the calm waters of the Auau Channel facing Lana'i island and the fertile peaks and valleys of Mauna Kahalawai (West Maui mountain range). Lahaina has provided a home for many cultures over the centuries.
When the first Polynesian settlers arrived at these shores well over a thousand years ago, Lahaina offered them abundant freshwater streams, verdant valleys with fertile volcanic soil, warm, sunny days and a pristine, bountiful sea. Even today, much of this can still be said of Lahaina. Steeped in a history which consistently documents its progress from one era to another, Lahaina has retained a flavor of each to this day. Over 18,000 full-time residents call Lahaina home.

Ciao Christian,
bella composizione,mi piacciono questi alberi con le radici pendenti. interessanti anche i lampioni, strani sostegni che hanno.
belli i colori e buna la luce in una situazione particolare

Hola Christian,

Es una arbol muy interesante que nos presentas en esta foto. Pienso que sus muchas ramas crean suficiente sombra y ademas no es el tipico arbol que se encuentra en cualquier lugar. Interesante presentacion con colores suaves y buenos detalles. Buen contraste de luz y sombras tambien. Gracias :-)

Ciao Christian!!
sapevi che io ho creato un tema sui Banyan trees? Questo qui è notevole e lo inserisco subito. Anche io avevo fotografato una Baniano alle Hawaii, a Waikiki. E' difficile cattura

Bonjour,
belle photo de cet endroit ombragé et pour cause, recouvert par ces superbes arbres aux trons torchés dans tous les sens.
Bel effet un peu féérique de cet endroit magnifique qui attire les regards et donne envie de s' y rendre profiter de ce spectacle et de cette ombre.

Amitiés Thomas
