Maka'Ala Cascades

The Maka'Ala lobby area of the Aulani Resort in Oahu, Hawaii, is a beautiful structure and striking facade, and it's enhanced by the beautiful landscape and waterscape that fronts the view back to this courtyard-facing elevation of the hotel.  Water is universally synonymous with life, and in this lush environment, the little waterfalls imbibe a rich and sacred atmosphere to the resort.  They're also a photogenic foreground in front of the island-inspired architecture!
