Waimea River, Falls
Because of the way the wind swept through (we were on the windward, not leeward side of the island), and due to the frequent sun showers, one could see really vivid rainbows that dropped down right into the middle of fields. Pretty amazing.
I returned a few days ago from my trip with my family to Kau’i, Hawai’i. Tumbledry has slept peacefully over the holidays, but there are some big things going on in the background. I’m way way backlogged on adding some great photos and great links. There are stories to be told, and oh yeah, that redesign is still going great guns in the background. Come the end of the January, things will be looking quite a bit different around here.
A better, vertical, version of this picture will be posted when the redesign of tumbledry has been completed.
At the Guava Kai plantation.
Tremendous lighthouse, this. It has the largest Fresnel lens in the world (4 tons!), hand ground in France. It was lifted up from the ocean 110 feet below, and when eventually installed, spun on a friction-reducing bed of mercury until an electronic light replaced it in 1976.
Fantastic scenic overlook. Those are taro farms below.
A big cliff rose up right behind the beach, but I couldn’t get a sense of scale in the picture I took of that.
Taken while passing over these one lane bridges they have in Northern Kauai. They create very strange traffic patterns. Tricky shot looking into the hazy sun.
