The beautiful Akaka Falls State Park in Hilo, Hawaii is home to a 400-foot cascade of water that flows over the edge of the Kolekole Stream into an idyllic blue pool at its base. The name Akaka in Hawaiian roughly translates to “rippling water” which is exactly what the stream does here as it flows over the edge of the massive cliff. This series is inspired by the serenity one can find in nature, and I wanted to use this photo as a tribute to it.

The time of day is close to sunset according to the artist, who wanted to capture a moment when both warm and cool colors are present together at that time of day. The work was completed on location while traveling…
