"Perpetual Wind"
The Pali Lookout, Oahu

For thousands of miles over the ocean, the trade winds blow unimpeded until suddenly the Ko’olau mountains force them upwards at incredible speeds. The mighty trees that bravely stand atop these peaks are constantly battered, bending and twisting so as to reveal the true force of the power of nature.
The intense wind at the Pali Lookout creates some incredible action in the trees. Can you feel the wind and movement in this photo?
