Seen from the air, where the modern man-made environs are dwarfed by nature, it is easy to understand this reputation. From The Skies of Paradise: Aerial Images of O‘ahu captures all the beauty the island of O‘ahu has to offer, but few ever see, from the dramatic cliffs of the Ko‘olau mountain range to the vast plains of pineapple and sugarcane on the North Shore.
