The Big Island is larger than all the other Hawaiian Islands combined and the only one still volcanically active. It would be a pity to get to a hotel on Big Island and to not spend some time exploring the many wonders the island has to offer. The west side of the island, or the

It’s really hard to find images of San Francisco you have not seen before. A few months ago, I met with a helicopter pilot (a photographer himself) and he was complaining that no one thinks of using helicopters for taking pictures.
