Great backyard, Richard. Glad you decided not to put that fence up to keep the honu off da grass.

Yes, this IS HAWAII - Big Island ! Nice, very nice representation - Aloha

Very lucky man you are, Richard! (Though I'm sure you worked hard to get there.) Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of heaven. I'm very, very envious.

And I love the close-ups of your dear doggy!

I was so moved by this beautiful video-the videography, the music, everything!

Stunning! I love Hawaii.

Thanks for sharing the views...so beautiful!

Awesome video Richard! I know exactly where these shots are from! We live in HPP :)

We have been to the Hawaiian islands 4 times, Oahu and Maui, and hope to return again. This video sure reminds me of their inherent beauty and peacefulness. Thanks for sharing. Great job!

Richard - I am a Hilo girl - my parents have a home out in Keaau they are selling -- seeing this video took me back to my elementary years in Hawaii -- I so miss it...thank you so much for sharing....especially since I am in Washington now, those scenes brought back many memories.....as my family spent many summers at Kalapana....

Aloha Richard,

I love the subtle beauty that is Hawai'i Nei. You have captured it so well in both this film and "WHALES"
I live nearby on Oahu and sent it out to friends all over the world. You have captured The aina, makai, sky's both day and night and her sealife so eloquently. Your dog brings smiles and joy to an ever present beauty in which we are so blessed to live. Thank you for this "Piece/Peace of Heaven" right here on earth.

Wow! This is simply stunning. I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida but have always wanted to go to Hawaii. So beautiful. Nice video.

Lucky to be in Hawaii. Thanks for the view.
Here's one from my backyard:

It is this video that got me to sign up with Vimeo. This is so ethereal, and beautiful!

God to I miss Hawaii. Thanks for the lovely video
It's been a decade since I've been to the Big Island. Far too long.

Cheers! Jamie Dodson

How beautiful! Must have visited close to 15 times incl. Our honeymoon back in 1975. Always loved the place.
Unfortunately have not been back since 1982.
