Description
Who says Hawaii is always sunny. ;)
Kamehameha I, who grew up as a child among men in Waipio Valley on the Island of Hawaii and earned the name the 'lonely one', would rise to be the most glamorous figure in Hawaiian history. Not only did he unite the islands under one supreme ruler, but he established himself as a fierce warrior and wise and compassionate leader to his people. After several battles to gain power over the the Big Island, Kamehameha I recruited two
Englishmen, Young and Davies, to teach him 'Western Style' battle techniques. In 1795 he sailed from Hawaii with his army and conquered Maui, before landing on Oahu. Kamehameha I then drove the defenders of Oahu up to the Na'uanu Pali and over its cliffs.
The Na'uanu Pali is the site of one of most important and bloodiest battles in Hawaiian history.
Taken with my old Nikon SLR with 'film'!

Beautiful capture Andrew.
Nice capture and thanks for the history, love it..
I'm sure Errol could tell us much more but thats the little I know about it!
Gorgeous, if damp, pic. Why does everybody have battles.
Great pic and slice of history. @ Durleybeachbum, it is often said that "some things are worth fighting for." It could also be argued that your home is the one of those things. Although in this case I guess that explains the defenders.
Stunning capture my friend.
Awesome view, nice capture!
You have seen a lot in the world - far more than I! Clive
OUTSTANDING!!!
Stunning Capture.
wonderful! I love it so much!!!
an impressive vista Andrew
Wonderful capture and very interesting history
Great shot, beautiful location!
Ask Errol about this; he just sent me an incredible video clip of people making this climb--you guys are sure on the same page. You must have done some climbing yourself to get this shot!!
Beautiful shot and very interesting information mate! Good quality with an old camera.. Well done.. Rob
great foto."to teach him 'Western Style' battle techniques" you probably mean supply him with fire arms, having those would make him win the battle for sure.
this is wonderful
Goegeous capture Andrew and fantastic history lesson. Dana
