We arrived in Honolulu yesterday morning and after meeting my wife's cousin for lunch, we departed for a family drive around the east side of Oahu. We took the Pali Highway over the mountains and arrived at Kailea. We were all instantly captivated by rich turquoise waters and I knew I had found my image.

iPhone, True HDR, Nik Snapseed, Touch/Retouch (to remove some tourists - IMO - it's better than PS5's Content Aware)!
