Kauai Scenery

Genie and I were able to get away on a small trip to Hawaii, and so we went to the the island of Kauai. If you like outdoor activities and you want to get away to a quiet place, this is it. Kauai is small, has beautiful beaches and mountains, and is very laid back (shaka brah). Also has ono grinds (good food). The pix here are Opaeka'a Falls and some taro fields fields outside the town of Princeville (think rich). I find the taro fields very peaceful. Reminded me of going to the villages in China for the first time in 1990.

Beautiful! I really like the point of view of both. I feel like I'm looking at the falls from a plane. And you really get a sense of height in the valley shot. Diggin the green. Their fields look flooded though :\

Hi, Lea. Thank you for the nice comments. As for the fields, they are flooded. I didn't know this, when when you grow taro (for poi), the fields are submerged much like rice paddies.

Eric,

It is a great island and much different from the other islands. It is a wonderful place to take picture because it is so much different from the other islands. Did you get a chance to visit some of the fishing pools?

Hi Dolph. I didn't get a chance to see any fishing pools. Not into fishing really. Also, the waters were really rough after the quake in Chile (no tsunami in HI but close) and also due to high winds. Red flags all over the beaches.
