Thanks Don, The photo was shot by a nephew of mine who is at home on vacation at present and he and a couple of his school friends climbed Temehani to shoot the Tiare Apetahi Flower and he sent them to me. His name is Doumai Hapaitaha'a and is working on his Masters Degree in Paris. He is the first in our family to have graduated from college and is studying computer science.. As a child he would sit at my side learning computers and basic (during those DOS Daze). He always said that he wanted to be just like me when he grew up and he has exceeded me by light years. I was a field engineer for Sperry Univac after retiring and went back to work for the Navy as a Ceta on electronics and Navy digital systems.. I have great skills,(photography isn't one of them yet, but I am trying) but my nephew is so very much better in programming and theory.. I am so very proud of him and if you use the photo, which you may if you like please credit him and you can use Raiatea, French Polynesia as his location for the shot.. I and he would appreciate that.

Glad to meet another shipmate Don, and if you are ever out this way, feel free to come by and touch base, perhaps we can go out and shoot something fun, even beautiful.

Ken
