21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Unraveling

As the volcanoes of Hawaii’s big island lead into the rainforest, scenes of abundant new growth appear across the landscape. From the surrounding ferns, known better as uluhe to those that call the rainforest home, little inclinations of the foliage begin unraveling before our very eyes, creating a magnificent scene which we dream to visit and hold onto forever.
