This photo captures the view from the Makapu'u Lighthouse Lookout, looking toward Bellows Beach Field on Oahu. Bellows holds a special place in my heart; I had the privilege of working there early in the summer, and the sight of the beach with the mountains rising in the distance was absolutely breathtaking. I spent nearly three weeks at Bellows in August, and I’m already looking forward to returning in 2025. It’s a place that continues to inspire awe and a deep sense of connection.
