I was attending an event at the Pacific Aviation Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii. Knowing it was approaching the afternoon golden hour, I went outside and began looking around. Parked nearby was this vintage World War II aircraft that caught my eye. As I slowly walked around it, the golden light got better and better.  When I rounded the tail, I saw this shot…the long wheel strut and propellor’s shadow, the puffy tropical clouds, and golden sunlight drew me right into the moment.
