While photographing the colorful waves and rugged volcanic coastline at Secret Cove Beach in Makena, Maui, an unexpected formation appeared in the clouds above the Pacific. Stretching across the brilliant blue sky was what looked remarkably like a giant sea turtle swimming overhead. Captured on October 31, 2026, this photograph brings together the natural beauty of South Maui: swaying palms, ancient black lava, turquoise ocean waters, and a remarkable moment in the sky. Of the hundreds of photographs captured during this outing, this image stood apart as a reminder that nature often creates its most memorable artwork when we least expect it.
