Description
AloooooooHa!
Back once again from this past weekends shoot at Waipio Valley on the Big Island. In my last post, I showed you a shot facing the ocean. In Hawaii we give directions by referring to the ocean "Makai" or towards the Mountains "Mauka". Today's post I turned the camera towards the mountains or "Mauka" to get this shot of the same river from my previous post. This river is formed by rains in the mountains and it winds it way through this valley and deposits at the mouth I'm shooting from.
Taro which is made into Poi is grown in this valley, feed by the streams that run into this river. Some of the best Poi in the islands comes from this valley. Poi is an acquired taste, and it's more of a side dish than a main meal....a great substitute for rice.
Many thanks for your kind comments on my previous post, and Many Mahalo's for dropping by for a peek....One more day till I'm off....whew what a week...Aloha~

Fantastic photo, it's brilliant, the reflections on the water are fabulous
An excellent shot! Great colors and fantastic reflections. 5*
That is just so beautiful shot, awesome one.
Beautiful!
"Many Mahalo's for" sharing your world.
wonderful colourstones :)
what a beautiful tropical place this is love the silent calm reflection here.... wonderful to look upon brings a peace to the soul...
What a beautiful image! (You can keep the poi, though - I've not acquired that taste!)
What a beautiful shot, Dave! There are certainly advantages to getting up really early; the river isn't likely to be so calm any time later in the day. I love the reflections, and the way the sky is so much darker in the water.
Nice shot of this beautiful place. One could never get tired of this place, you would always want to come back for more. And we will too. Excellent shot of the "Mauka" area. Aloha
What a shot mate! Love how the water fades into that black there... Beautiful reflections and gorgeous greenery... What a serene shot this is... Fantastic photography mate!
It's all in there. Light, colour, pov, composition....perfect.
Lovely work!
Beautiful landscape accentuated by the reflection - and I love how it gradually turns black in the foreground. Excellent!
Beautiful. The mountain reflection in the water is fantastic.
What a pretty reflection. It sure gives it an interesting look with that side hill. Beautiful image and colors.
The beauty and lush serenity of the fertile valleys of Hawaii. You captured that perfectly in this one Dave. Casts me back to my days as a Boy Scout camping and hiking in them.
Beatuful Capture...Very Tranquil..
Beautiful!!!
Gorgeous shot! Love that deep blue reflection on the water.
nice!!
Excellent shot!!!
Fantastic reflection and the dead space put to excellent use in the foreground.
What an amazing reflection you've caught here Dave!!! Gorgeous image!!!!! Maybe poi is an acquired taste but, there's no doubt that poi is GOOD for everyone. It's an excellent source of fiber and vitamins C and B-1, as well as potassium, magnesium and iron. And poi won't make you fat. It has fewer calories than rice (one cup of ready-to-eat poi has 120 calories; one cup of cooked rice has 250) I've also read that poi has saved many babies lives who couldn't keep mother's milk down!! So that's all I know about poi!!!! Sorry for the ramble, I just love great information!!! Aloha... ;-)
Beautiful shot of a peaceful landscape
VERY DEEP and amazing this blue.. scare me.. how dark is.... Big Hugs.. Luis
Poi-fect. :^P Sorry. I'm pathetic. Somebody shoot me, lol. Great capture, Dave. There such a lovely sense of serenity and stillness with that pure blue and the glasslike reflection. Hope you enjoyed your time off.... Mahalo! -M :^)
So stunning render!
Another great view.
