Kauai Coast Sunset Silhouette

The sun, a bright white orb, sets behind a tree-lined hill, casting an orange glow across the sky and reflecting on the rippling ocean surface.

The air was thick with humidity on Kauai, and the setting sun cast a golden glow over the water. The trees on the hillside were silhouetted against the bright sky, and the ocean sparkled with reflected light. I made this photo near Poipu.
