Klippene på Kauai

The helicopter ride gave me an entirely fresh take on the island—those jagged cliffs dropping straight into turquoise water are something you just can't capture from the road. Worth every penny of the splurge for that morning light alone.

Booked the chopper last minute and this was the first thing I framed when we got airborne. The way the cliffs drop straight into the surf from that height is unreal, so much better than any ferry or road view. Glad I splurged on the flight.

That helicopter view of the cliffs was worth every penny—the color of the water from above is unreal, a turquoise I've never seen from the shore. The pilot even circled back so I could get the shot I wanted, and this print captures that exact moment perfectly.
