This is perhaps one of the more photographed spots on Kauai. I was hoping to make a panoramic out of it, but I wasn't using a fast enough shutter speed for the rate at which I was spinning around (lack of tripod). A HDR image will have to suffice: a gradient was used to add a second processed shot for detail in a blindingly bright sky (same RAW file).
This part of the island gets an enormous amount of rain (as you can see here), and is therefore very green (as you can see here also). Oh, and Happy Birthday, Mom!.
