In Polynesia, the Mana refers to a natural and spiritual force. A vital energy.
It is what gave kings and healers their powers a long time ago
It is present in everything, people, animals, elements...
Some particular places have a stronger Mana than others. This is one of these places.
The pristine mountains behind Teahupo'o (the village that gave its name to the world famous reef break).
This is a sunrise on a cloudy day, as a huge swell is on its way.
This place definitely has a strong Mana. You can feel it in the air. The atmosphere there is different, almost mystical.
How do you even photograph a spiritual energy?
