Story

I was hiking in the Koʻolau when a stretch of cliffs across the valley caught my eye. Their steep faces looked dramatic, and the greens seemed to deepen farther down the slopes.

As I brushed through a branch on my way up the trail, I noticed how it framed that same view. I could see the landscape photograph in it right away. I stopped with the branch close in front of me and the cliffs rising beyond it.
