This commissioned painting shows the lighthouse at Makaup’u point from the Ka’iwi Coast side of the south-eastern most point of O’ahu.
The treacherous hike down to this place is rewarded by the tidal pools, some of which are shown here. As is true of many beautiful, and alluring places in Hawai’i, one must exercise very sober judgement before venturing into the pools or even making the hike to these places. The deep blue of the adjacent ocean means a sudden wave can sweep a bather of the pools or even a hiker along the shore into the rocky, hard to climb ashore depths, with very unexpected currents. Can you see the whale whose natural domain is this deep blue?
