 |
| on our way to the black sand
beach. |
|
 |
| we didn't add our names. |
|
 |
| on the black sand beach. |
|
 |
| more names. |
|
 |
| first sign. |
|
 |
| and the next. they should add
the shark warning from the maui ocean center too! |
|
 |
| enjoying the water. |
|
 |
| away from the beach. |
|
 |
| more ocean pounding on the
rocks. wonder what this place will look like in 1000 years. |
|
 |
| more views. |
|
 |
| and yet another. |
|
 |
| it wasn't as dark as this
picture might suggest. |
|
 |
| from the other side on the beach. |
|
 |
| marci looking out into the
distance. |
|
 |
| this looks like the same shot.
this is what happens when you don't have to pay for film. |
|
 |
| and yet another. are we getting
tired of this place yet? |
|
 |
| more vegetation. |
|
 |
| and water if you like. |
|
 |
| and more. |
|
 |
| yaw on our way to the pools of
o'heo. |
|
 |
| i guess i took more photos
because this one was bigger than the others. i can't think of any
other reason at the moment. |
|
 |
| more. |
|
 |
| and even more. are you getting
waterfalled out yet? |
|
 |
| more again. |
|
 |
| the water eventually fed a stream that
ran off for some distance. |
|
 |
| oh my god, yet again. |
|
 |
| and again. |
|
 |
| and once again! this is
getting really boring. |
|
 |
| and now we begin our one mile
hike to see the top of yet another waterfall. you've seen many of them
already, but this one will definitely be worth seeing. |
|
 |
| we walked on and on and on. |
|
 |
| over branches, through mud,
and ground littered with wild mangos. |
|
 |
| more walking. my aspirin
count was at about 10 at this point. |
|
 |
| oh my god, and we haven't
even begun the real trail! |
|
 |
| and when we got there, i took this
photo thinking that this was it. |
|
 |
| but on the other side, there was
am amazing view, a waterfall that extended hundreds of feet below, and a cliff
whose edge you could sit at and reflect upon your existence (if you like). |
|
 |
| marci showing some skin and
taking a dip. |
|
 |
| stretching out to catch a view of
the water below. |
|
 |
| the top of the waterfall. |
|
 |
| another slightly blurry shot. i leaned
way off the edge to take this. was it worth it? |
|
 |
| the view right about at the point
where someone should dive off of this cliff -- and survive. |
|
 |
| water feeding into the waterfall. |
|
 |
| from here, you could see all the way
out to the ocean. this waterfall actually feeds a number of pools which eventually
connect to the ocean. |
|
 |
| try and imagine where i am sitting at
this point. one strong breeze and it's all over, baby! well, for my camera at
least. |
|
 |
| and to add a little perspepctive. you
won't see much more of me than this in any of my photos. |
|
 |
| if things are darker than you
would like, that's because i screwed things up with my camera. oh, if only
randy were here.
|
|
 |
| another shot. |
|
 |
| the water above. |
|
 |
| this was my favorite spot of the
entire trip, hence all the photos. |
|
 |
| one more. |
|
 |
| and another. |
|
 |
| and yet another. |
|
 |
| this looks like a picture i already
took. |
|
 |
| just the water. |
|
 |
| some guy being daring. |
|
 |
| contemplating his mortality. |
|
 |
| random guy and marci on the edge. |
|
 |
| another view. |
|
 |
| i probably should've taken some
of these out. |
|
 |
| but i didn't. :) |
|
 |
| bandwidth is plenty, but perhaps
not over a modem. ah well. |
|
 |
| my cowardly shot. |
|
 |
| closer. |
|
 |
| and even closer. |
|
 |
| farther upstream, more pools. |
|
 |
| and vegetation. |
|
 |
| and more. |
|
 |
| there was a large cave at the top
that we dared not venture into. |
|
 |
| same thing. |
|
 |
| last shot. |
|
 |
| same waterfall, this time from
the other side. we were sitting right at the top. |
|
 |
| these flowers in the foreground
make this shot that much more interesting, don't you think? |
|
 |
| but maybe not so interesting that
you'd like to see it for a third time. |
