A bit obscure, but some will know this one.

I think it's Waipo‘o Falls.

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.

Yes - it's Waipo'o Falls. I've got a lot of shots of those falls.

The trail is relatively level, If you start from the trailhead on the main road, there's probably about 500 ft drop in elevation to a couple of stream crossings, then you pick up about half of that getting to the top of the falls. You can eliminate a large portion of that initial change in elevation if you have 4WD; then you can drive to the point where the falls trail intersects that Canyon Trail.

This will probably be a tough one -

You guys are spot-on. For sure, Niihau sunset, from the deck of a Capt. Andy's catamaran. Snorkelers on Honolua Bay, from the bluff overlook above it. And the double waterfall is at Waimea Canyon on Kauai, taken from one of the overlook points. I don't know the name of the falls, just that it was waaaayyy across the canyon from where I was standing.

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

Its water. The picture is dated Early Aug 2018.

Its water.

When I look at the picture all I see is dark. Can't distinguish what it is.

It is the brand spanking new southern coast of Hawaii. This was about a week before Fissure 8 stopped flowing. It was were the flow was entering the water. About 8 days before we went on this trip one of the tour boats was hit by a lava bomb.

We took the trip that departed at 3:30 am from Hilo. This was just as the sun was rising.

Never mind. The post right before this explained it.

That is spectacular!!!

 

[artringwald]

Has anyone ever been in this short cave?

I guess the answer to my question is no. It's the hole in the chin of the Sleeping Giant on Kauai. My brother and I were hiking up the trail to the chin, and a kid told us about the cave. You can't see it from the trail. If you're near where 56 crosses the Wailua River, and look closely, you can see daylight through the hole in the Giant's chin.

That looks like South Point on the Big Island.

 

[artringwald]

The name of the photo gave it away. I made the same mistake. Here's a Google Street view looking the other direction.

Since no one has guessed - this is Hipuapua Falls, at the upper end of the Halawa Valley on Molokai.

I didn't need or use the name on the photo. I recognized it immediately - the terrain, the hoist at the top of the cliff, and the windmills in the distance.

Yes Sir !!! I jumped off the landing only to say I did. One and done.

A couple of weeks ago I was scouring my folders looking for a photo of the Kamehameha statue so I could post it. I was sure I had at least one pic, but I couldn't find it. So thanks for posting it.

Anybody recognize this? I'm sure that many have seen this locale, but probably not from this vantage point. A hint - it's neither Kaua'i nor O'ahu.
