Molokai Awesomeness

If you’ve read my book Hawai’i Nights, you know the trip didn’t had a great (photographic) start, dealing with strong monlight and the light pollution from Honolulu, but this was the night, in Moloka’i, at this beach, when things really started to change. Moloka’i literally gave me two of the most incredible nights of my life. Summer 2014. Kaunala beach (in the photo) was just a place of transit in my plan that summer night in Moloka’i, but you can’t run in Moloka‘i, especially when you’re crossing a secluded beach at night under the moonlight. It’s just not possible. So I stopped at Kaunala beach, went on to my rituals, and also took a chance for this panoramic photo. The night was magnificent. The Moon was there, coloring everything it touched, this time helped by a timid twilight. I was put to a complete stop at Kaunala, and it wouldn’t be the first time that night. Not only I was connecting with Moloka‘i in a very special way, it felt as if everything was connected. A feeling that would stay with me for the three nights we spent on the island.
