On overcast days I love to go to the Ala Wai Community Garden. It's located at the makai end of University Avenue along the Ala Wai Canal. Cloudy-day soft lighting makes for good picture taking there. It was a little windy on this particular day, so I had to time the shots for the still moments. You sometimes have to shoot between the fence wires and you kinda have to search for the colors, but take your time, enjoy the solitude, become one with nature, and the shots will reveal themselves to you.
