Kualoa

The little offshore islet, Mokoli`i, is said actually to be a fluke of the cut off tail of a dragon-like creature. Hi`iaka (or Hi`iaka i ka pali o Pele), goddess of lightning and Pele's younger sister, was traveling along the Windward coast when she came upon great Mokoli`i, the Mo`o dragon. Hi`iaka mightily fought with the giant lizard and slayed it with spears of lightning. She then dismembered and used the body to form part of the base of Hakipu`u road. And when she threw the tail away, it landed in the ocean by Kualoa.

Oahu Volcanic Cliffs

Oahu has it's own character. Besides tall New-York-Like skyscrapers in Honolulu, the landscape and ocean are quiet beautiful. I traveled around the island and a few drawings on locations. Here is a view on the Volcanic Cliffs i drew from one of the beaches on the North Side of Oahu.

Oahu / Hawaian Landscape

Waimanalo Beach / Oahu

I was on Oahu for a few days, before I flew back home. I found a picture-perfect place here at Waimanalo Beach. No wonder it has been discovered before me, and it's a memorable place, so you see just married couples taking their wedding pictures here. But you can also meet a local Hawaian or Samoan! I liked the food truck across the street and ordered their shrimp plate. Aloha!
