  • ~ Sliding through crazy seas on a thin board ~

Hurricane Jova turned aside before reaching the Hawaiian Island shores. Jova’s close visit created some big and wild surfing waves. This guy managed to ride his wave, and then getting his first look at a monster wave behind him~

*On my public Flickr photo website, this surfing shot has been selected as best by thousands of viewers. (That page on my Flickr site here: http://flickr.com/photos/sparkyleigh/46056787/in/set-72157594275914289/ )

<br />
The four-million years of erosion on Kauai have etched out the lava into a spectacular canyon in the middle of the southwest side of the island. <br />
The record setting annual rainfall continues carving new shapes.<br />
Kauai's longest river of 19-miles runs in this valley bottom.

Do you see the two snowboarders climbing up? No chair lifts on Hawaiian volcanoes! Well in a large print you will see them halfway up the mountain along the shadow line.<br />
<br />

  • ~ Pali Moon ~<br />
<br />
While camping along the Polihale coast on Kauai I was lucky to spot the moon about to rise up over the huge overhanging cliffs (pali in Hawaiian). I set up the tripod just in time to catch the moon rising over the forested ridge above the camp.<br />
<br />
Printing note: Due to my square cropping, it is difficult to find a good pre-set print size for this one. So I suggest selecting the general size you would like and try using the crop and no-crop tool to find your preference. (Use the 'no-crop' if you want the exact framing above.)<br />
