Piercing misty mountain

Another overcast day in Hawaii (no big news here, really!) and I was driving from Honolulu towards the north shore of Oahu. I took Pali Highway and stopped briefly at the Nu'uanu Pali lookout to enjoy the view of the valley. Quite a historic site as this is where one of the bloodiest battles in Hawaiian history took place. An army of more than 10K warriors out of Island of Hawaii under Kamehalameha I conquered sequentially the islands of Maui and Molokai and this is the place where the battle for Oahu took place. Local warriors after losing the battle were pushed off the edge of the 300 meters high cliff. As I was reading the details of the battle on the sign, the fast moving clouds engulfed the mountain creating a very interesting view with the highway piercing through a misty mountain.
