Mokoli’ Tail

With Mokoli'i island's distinct shape on the horizon, the photograph whispers tales of old — where the goddess Hi'iakaikapoliopele battled a giant lizard, leaving behind only its tail, now known as Mokoli'i. The calm fishpond in the foreground mirrors the fertile surroundings and the island's iconic silhouette. The deep hues of the trees, contrasted by the overcast sky, evoke a blend of serenity and legend. Captured in this frame is not just the natural beauty of Oahu but also the mythical essence that gives the island its identity. The composition tells a story where legends seamlessly merge with the present.
