Description
Poipu Red Sunset Through Palm Trees- Kauai- Hawaii. In this vertical composition photographed at sunny Poipu beach on Kauai, the black silhouettes of several palm trees stand in stark contrast to the brilliant deep reds of the background sunset. The interplay of light and shadow is carried on across diagonal lines formed by the tree trunks, separating the dark right upper frame from the light lower left frame. Clouds add interest to the sky. Poipu beach is one of the great snorkeling spots on Kauai. Kauai has both one of the driest spots on the planet and one of the wettest spots on the planet. This dry-wet split personality owes its existence to the rain-shadow effect, where moisture-laden winds drop their water as the air cools while gaining altitude on its way up the windward side of the mountain, and once you get to the leeward side, little moisture is left. Poipu Beach is towards the drier side of the island, though I’d rate Polihale Beach as drier and hotter. Look also for my many other shots of Hawaii, especially Kauai and Maui, including other versions of this photo.
