At all hours and in every creative way, Civil Beat photographers visualize their world.
From light-painted streets and buildings to a gathering of leadership support for devastated individuals. From the mid-week half moon to the movement of the stars crossing the silent skies and from distant treasuries, overpass planning meetings and Supreme Court justice selections, we worked hard to show all the week’s main events.
Traffic on King Street passes by Honolulu Hale that was illuminated in the colors of the Israeli flag from sundown Saturday until dawn Sunday. The light show was in support of Israel following the attack that killed more than 1,400 people including at least 29 Americans. (David Croxford/Civil Beat/2023)Gov. Josh Green, center, has nominated attorney Vlad Devens and Judge Lisa Ginoza to serve on the Hawaii Supreme Court. Now both nominees face the Senate confirmation process that begins Nov. 17. (Chad Blair/Civil Beat/2023)Construction crews work at the Pulelehua development in Kapalua in West Maui in October. (Nathan Eagle/Civil Beat/2023)All four county mayors appeared together Monday at a press conference at the Lahaina Civic Center to update the latest activities in the aftermath of the Aug. 8 wildfire and offer support to Maui County. (David Croxford/Civil Beat/2023)The moon’s naturally occurring colors can be seen by enhancing just the colors of tungsten (blue) and Iron (yellow). It helps to have the ability to “stack” focus a series of images shot in very fast succession, but when this is done successfully, the moon becomes a fascinating object to watch. And if you’re super lucky and plan well you could witness the International Space Station passing by. From most places on earth it traverses a full moon in just 1/2 second. (David Croxford/Civil Beat/2023)On Wednesday, Patricia and Jefferson Stillwell from Kihei examine some of the project boards presented at Maui’s Kulanihakoi High School community meeting for the overpass project. The pedestrian walkway, which isn’t expected to be in place until December 2025, is seen as the best way to keep kids safe as they go to and from the school which is on a busy road. (David Croxford/Civil Beat/2023)The Kulanihakoi High School campus is Maui’s newest and shows off the beauty of current design standards with clean lines and simple architecture. These stairs lead to a parking lot on campus.(David Croxford/Civil Beat/2023)Small plants decorate the outside areas of Kulanihakoi High School. (David Croxford/Civil Beat/2023)Members of the House Finance Committee traveled to Kula on Wednesday to hear from officials with the Natural Resources Conservation Service among others. (Nathan Eagle/Civil Beat/2023)Some landowners in Kula are using downed eucalyptus trees to keep soil from running off by lining up the trees across the slope and adding mulch. (Nathan Eagle/Civil Beat/2023)The contrasting images of the burnt remains of Lahaina town and the beauty of Lanai, just a short distance away from the west side of Maui. (Nathan Eagle/Civil Beat/2023)The Milky Way can be elusive, especially when clouds obscure the galactic center. But when the Barbers Point lighthouse paints the coconut palms along the beach with its light that has served mariners since 1933, a short visit can be justified. (David Croxford/Civil Beat/2023)
