How true! Spent most of my time further in the bay where the sun was usually shining--or where I could shoot with a telephoto where the sun was shining although when we got there it was 101 degrees F coming in from the airport so the coolness was often appreciated.
In 2004, before digital, I took slides of the Maui inbound under the bridge but I did not have as powerful a zoom on my old Pentax as my digital Canon has.
