From the scenic lookout North of Coconut Market Place, near Kapa'a Kauai looking south towards Lihue.

The sea was quite angry and not as calm as seen in the above shot.

Two terrific shots sury, really like the ocean colour. The second is a little off kilter, I have many like that ;^) still a great shot. Thanks for sharing.

Nice scenes Sury, (maybe the sea is rough because it’s flowing downhill?) :lol: :lol:

Lovely photos, Sury, the sunsets being a little more favourable. :)

The first angry sea photo is nice too while the second indeed is tricky especially the way Greg puts it. : ))


Thanks for sharing. It's a beautiful place.

Thanks for posting these pictures. As the East Coast Plunges to autumn, it's nice to see visions of the Garden Isle.

Photos look really good! My wife and I were also on Kauai earlier this year. We had a good time.

Thank you Henry. It is now my most favorite of Hawaiian islands.

4 excellent posts, Sury! I must be honest, the 3rd post is my least favourite but you have managed to capture many atmospheres and views. An example for us all to follow.

Andy, those square fields are taro (a tuber, very revered in Hawaii) fields.
Tony, thank you very much for your kind sentiments. I am flattered.

With best regards,
Sury

On the way to Waileale and Kawaikini (highest point) in a helicopter. I had a tough challenge
of shooting through a plexiglass bubble AND avoiding the reflections of a fair skinned fellow
passenger.

Manawaiopuna Falls (aka "The Jurassic Falls"). It is unfortunate that most tour operators have
begun calling these as The Jurassic Falls and am afraid in a decade people will forget its native
name.
