Beautiful Hawaiian Sunrise

Morning sunrise over the south eastern part of the island Oahu in a little town of Waimanalo. This photo represents the wondrous beauty of nature. We have thousands of visitors a year, who hike and demand to see everything Hawaii has to offer. I hope to inspire them to know that we are meant to respect nature, not try and change it for our own benefit. Come here with the intention of immersing yourself into Hawaiian culture & beauty, not just to "see" Hawaii. When we respect nature, we in turn can awe the beauty that comes with it.
