Look Up Cathedral of Moss the last stretch of sand

the last stretch of sand on Kauaʻi's north shore before the road ends at Kēʻē

talons dropped toward the water

the path down to the sand is steep

half-clubhouse

Alex frames the moon between the leaves, the cloud holding just enough light to read the texture on the disc.
