If you have followed me for a while, you know that I love to capture simplicity. Most of the time, the play between light and shadows is enough to tell beautiful stories.
I took the photo below in Kauai's Waimea Canyon (which means "reddish water" in Hawaiian). Known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, the area is 16 kilometres long and 900 metres deep. A number of geological events have chiseled it over a period of 5 million years. One of them is erosion with the Waimea River and extreme rainfall on Mount Waiʻaleʻale, one of the wettest places on earth. The peak receives an average of 11,500 mm of water every year!
I have many photos of Waimea Canyon. However, this one stands out in many ways...
My piece:
Shadows emerge
late afternoon encounter--
life goes on unfazed.
