This is my entry for Skywatch Friday.
Beautiful photo. I've always wanted to visit Molokai. May be someday!
ReplyDeleteI love Molokai. It's so quiet there and not a lot of traffic. It's a good place to relax and unwind. I hope you'll visit in the future.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic view dear Kayni! Thank you so much also for sharing the story behind it, it's a sad one but needs to be known and remembered.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'd like to go back again.
DeleteWow, a beautiful vista.

DeleteSigh. I miss being there. Maui felt like home to me. I am sure Molokai would touch my heart and soul the same way. Be safe.
