Photo of the Month: Maui Rainbow by Sharon Kurtz
On a November morning in 2024 after a passing rain shower, I caught a double rainbow stretching over the waters off Ka’anapali Beach in Maui. In Hawaiian culture, a double rainbow, or ‘ka ulana o ka lewa’, is a symbol of good luck. The vibrant arcs appeared just as the sky cleared, and I quickly snapped the shot, knowing it was a rare moment.
Every time I look at the photo, it’s a reminder of the island’s beauty and the good fortune it brings. This spot in Maui is my husband’s and my favorite place to recharge and refresh. We have visited for many years, and this is the first double rainbow I have ever captured.
