Uhhh, Lahaina Banyan Court

Yes - without a wide angle lens it's hard to find a spot where you can get a picture of the entire tree.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Really only one place this could be ....

Thank you for your all these outstanding photos of Hawaii. Maybe one day, I will be able to see first hand some on these amazing places in Hawaii.

7 pools on maui?

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

7 pools on maui?

Bingo!!!

I was surprised no one had posted a photo of the seven pools. It was guessed as an incorrect answer at least once.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to see if I can find another one for people to guess at.

I don't think I've done this beach before. Both pics below are the same beach, looking in opposite directions from nearly the same spot.

No guesses???

It's right off one of main roads, though not visible from the road. Barely mentioned in any of the Guidebooks, though quite well-known to many.

After many days away from this thread.... this is Infinities.

Next up, for those who still might be participating - does anybody have any idea what the waterfall is that appears near the end of the clip below? I think I know what it is, but I'm not 100% certain.

Kīpū Falls?

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Kīpū Falls?

That's what I think it is. You never get a very good view of the falls, but what I can see looks like what I remember of Kipu Falls. Also Kipu Falls is close to where the filmed most of that opening scene.

 

[artringwald]

I've never been there, but I've looked at the picture in Kauai Revealed many times.

According to Wikipedia:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kīpū Falls is a waterfall in East Kauaʻi, Hawaii.

Kīpū Falls has a dangerous reputation due to drowning deaths of five people in a five-year span, as well as numerous other injuries. Due to the drowning deaths, Grove Farms Company, which owns the land where the falls are located, decided to block off the access route. From a legal perspective, visitors were trespassing, as the falls were not actually open to the public. Injuries became more prevalent after guide books began publicizing the falls.[1][2]

Kīpū Falls is also widely known for being the filming location of the introduction scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Bingo. Not from the stacks - no one goes up there except the people who test stack emissions. You can easily see a stack testing platform on the stack just to the right of center in the picture.

My picture was taken from the top level (just below the roof) of one of the two buildings on the left side of the photo. Those buildings surround the steam boilers. The turbines are between those buildings and the highway. The cooling water intake and discharge is makai of the highway, behind and to the right of where this photo was taken.

And yesterday a picture of the location was in the news.

2 snorkelers swept out to sea near Electric Beach rescued by Ocean Safety officials

Officials report that neither of the women were injured but suffered from extreme exhaustion.
