When Conditions Are Right (Wheel of Life)

Giant waves jump together with the Napali Coast cascading in distant shadows as a bird flies in the upper right corner, giving life to the scene.
I went to Ke'e on two consecutive evenings. On the first evening I went to photograph what I thought would be an epic day on the north shore. And it was. I got some really good shots that day and wanted to go back again-- not so much to photograph more-- but simply to experience again. To feel the mana and power again. This shot was taken on the second day and, like the first, it was an epic evening on the Na Pali Coast.
