Taken above kualoa ranch on the Island of O‘ahu, Hawai'i
Taken from my paraglider (unpowered). At this flying site we stay aloft on wind pushed upwards by the terrain. The glide upwind into this valley system from launch can be tricky on some days...After I took this photo, the sky opened up and started dumping rain, so we had to make a hasty retreat to go land.
