Description
This photo was taken on a beautiful clear day of Chinaman's hat and a lone palm tree on the island of Oahu near Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii. The real name of this island is Mokolii island and it sits about 600 yards off of Kualoa Beach Park.
The hawaiian legend of this island has it that a huge dragon was slain by Hiiaka, the sister of the powerful volcano goddess, Madame Pele. Hiiaka chopped off the creature's tail and threw it into the ocean, leaving its body on shore. The flukes of the severed tail jutted up out of the water to become this island. The natives called it "Mokolii,'' meaning "little lizard,'' in reference to the story.
