Nope, looks what is in the foreground portion of the photo.

I don't see much of anything in the foreground.

Yep. If you've been there it's very easy to remember.

It has been so many years since we had been there, I had to show it to my wife and it took a while but it finally can back to us.

no, that is lava in the picture.

I didn't recognize it until I saw Queen Victoria's profile in the background. It's obscured by clouds in Dave's picture. Of course, it's the Menehune Fishpond.

You guys are right, of course. Funny how many pictures taken from the same spot look so similar. LOL!

Dig behind me

Really stumped?

The Mysteries of the Menehune Ditch - Kauai, Hawaii

Kauai's West side is a place where most visitors don't spend much time other than the usual tracks - Polihale, Waimea Canyon/Kokee, and cruising the Na Pali Coast.

That's interesting!

While researching your photo, I learned that Kauai was once Russian, like California and Alaska. I saw "Russian Fort" sign on Kauai near Waimea, and just now read about it. Кауаи наш!

Yes, cool area when in Kauai. There is remnants of a Russian Fort near Waimea.

How about guess the constellation. Hint: this picture was taken from our bedroom window in Poipu about 2 AM in February.

Southern Cross.

Southern Cross.

You got it. It's hard to see in the northern hemisphere because it's always so low on the horizon, and it's the smallest constellation. The bottom of the cross always points to the south. CS&N wrote a song about it.

 

[artringwald]

Has anyone ever been in this short cave?

 

[PamMo]

Surely many of you know this hiking trail on Maui. If the wind is blowing just right, it sounds like you're inside a clock, hearing the bamboo trees murmur

, "Tock, tock, tock, tock...'

Cool picture. I didn't know it could be seen from Hawaii. I saw it many times while transiting the southern Pacific Ocean aboard Navy ships, and while spending months on Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean.

And this is at the top of the upper waterfall. Long drop down the face of that cliff.

Looks like Honolua Bay. I can see the Dragon's Teeth in the distance.

Somewhere in Waimea Canyon. That is a beautiful hike to the top (and fairly easy too because the trailhead is at a nearly level elevation if I remember correctly) but I have no idea what it is called. This is a great hike to take non-hikers on. Such a great place to see.
