  • ~ Pali Moon ~<br /> <br /> While camping along the Polihale coast on Kauai I was lucky to spot the moon about to rise up over the huge overhanging cliffs (pali in Hawaiian). I set up the tripod just in time to catch the moon rising over the forested ridge above the camp.<br /> <br /> Printing note: Due to my square cropping, it is difficult to find a good pre-set print size for this one. So I suggest selecting the general size you would like and try using the crop and no-crop tool to find your preference. (Use the 'no-crop' if you want the exact framing above.)<br /> <br /> Kauai Hawaii
