Sunset on the course

Stonecutters Ridge Golf Course at sunset

It’s not open yet, but the course is already looking good – especially in the late afternoon sun. Stonecutters Ridge Golf Course will surely become a popular place to play a round of golf, considering it looks this good almost a year before it’s set to open.

An Australian Sunset

Australian SunsetYou’d be hard pressed to find sunsets that are as spectacular as they are here in Australia. You’d have to travel to places like Hawai’i to experience oneĀ  that rivals Australia’s. With a larger backyard that isn’t bordered by a busy road, I’d imagine we’ll be spending much more time outside in the future – with many more sunsets like this one to come.

Kona Village Resort Sunset

Kona Village Resort Sunset

While any sunset in Hawai’i is hard to beat, the tranquility and throw back to a Hawai’i of yesteryear at the Kona Village Resort on the Big Island of Hawai’i adds to the already stunning views.

More than a century ago, before a volcano seared the land, a fishing village stood on the beach where Kona Village Resort is today. Now Kona Village Resort is about the most civilized outpost from civilization you can find, providing vacationers with a tropical experience in a plush yet authentic setting.

A world apart from high-rise hotels and tourist traps in other parts of Hawaii, this resort has managed to create a place that’s tranquil, beautiful, and in touch with the awesome nature surrounding it.

Uninterrupted by TV’s, phones, and much of what has kept of from truly losing ourselves on holiday, is not provided or even allowed at this wonderful resort.

Since 1965, those seeking a great escape have crossed the black-lava fields to find refuge at this exclusive, one-of-a-kind haven by the sea with its wonderful dark-sand beach. The resort resembles an eclectic Polynesian village, with historic sites and beaches, and the lack of TV’s and phones motivates you reconnect with yourself and fellow holidaymakers. If you have the wonderful opportunity to frequent this much loved resort, be sure to check out the Manta Rays at night, as they feed in the shallow waters of the illuminated lagoon. It’s not to be missed!

Weathervane at Sunset

Weathervane

Walking up a hill in Escondido, Ca, the striking contrast and sillhouette of the weathervane against the Southern California sunset was breathtaking. Views like this one really make you slow down, and appreciate the life around you.
