Big Island Photo Essay
I am suffering from Writer’s Block right now, so I decided to post a few of my Big Island photos that have yet to be published online. Here are a few photos of the Big Island…
- Plumeria Flowers above the Waipio Valley
Somehow we figured out how to emphasize the colored plumeria flower yet keep the rest of this photo in black and white.
We took this photo at the end of a morning hike along the top rim of the backside of the Waipio Valley. The weather cooperated with us this particular morning (the next time we tried this it was very foggy and overcast). It is always impressive to stand at the edge of a 2,000-foot drop off and feel the vastness of the Big Island. This area was so fertile and moist with recent rain – you could feel the plants growing.
- Laupahoehoe Point, Hamakua Coast
We took that narrow winding road off of the Hamakua Coast down to the rocky Laupahoehoe Point. This was the scene of tragedy during the April 1st 1946 Tsunami that wiped out many school children and their teachers right here at Laupahoehoe.
Today, it is the scene of a quiet beach park, the lava-rock shore usually pounded by the heavy north-eastern Big Island surf. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the splendid view.
The Hamakua Coast is one of the prettiest drives on the Big Island.
