300L Aquatic Garden Kūpinaʻi o ka Pali (Echo of the Pali)

Steven Chong · United States

Kūpinaʻi o ka Pali is Hawaiian for "Echo of the Cliffs" where "pali" means cliff, but "The Pali", to people from Oahu refers specifically to a stretch of the Koolau mountain range in Nuuanu Valley where I grew up. Hawaii is actually in the planet's desert belt, sharing its latitude with Mexico, the Sahara Desert, and much of the Middle East. In fact there is much dry desert ecosystem in Hawaii as well. And yet... moisture carried by trade winds over thousands of miles of flat Pacific Ocean crash into our mountains, carve out the handsome cliffs and waterfalls like in the Koolaus, and roll into valleys like Nuuanu as cloud, rain, and watershed. This is what gives Hawaii its rain forests and cloud forests. I wanted to share a bit of my childhood memory of that beauty-- chilly cloud and light rain drops, ancient green cliffs, and welcomed warmth of morning's early rays creeping into the valley.
