Mo'o Lady
A figure emerges from the mist during a sunset at Spouting Horn, Kauai. I had no intention of capturing her, she simply showed up as I was photographing an epic sunset.
I have called this photo Mo`o Lady in nod to local legend that tells of a giant Mo`o creature (lizard like being) inhabiting the Spouting Horn. If you've been there, you've likely heard the Mo`o breathing as the waves crash in and out of the area. Although the Mo`o in this legend never took a human female form, other legends tell of shapeshifting Mo`o women, usually around freshwater caves and rocky areas. So it's a bit of a combo of several Hawaiian stories.
