A final few pictures from our Hawaii trip in Jan/Feb. The ‘Respect Kauai’ bench is from up on the Sleeping Giant which was a challenging, if not very long, hike. The sunset picture made it into Explore on Flickr which resulted in it getting almost 60,000 views. That is over 100 times as many as most of my photos get.

Here’s a few pictures from the Kukui Trail hike we took down into Waimea Canyon. It’s 2.5 miles from the trail head going down 2000 feet in elevation to the Waimea river at the bottom of the canyon. Let me tell you, we were pretty wiped out after we got back to the top again afterwards! Please click through to the individual photos to view them and see exif info.

I found this maple leaf flattened on the boardwalk in the Ancient Forest near Prince George, BC. I used some HDR processing to bring out the texture and then adjusted the colours to make it look like a stylized Canada Flag. Have a great day, everyone!

Well, back to reality, and winter. Hope everyone enjoyed my Hawaiian photos over the past few weeks. We had a lot of fog last weekend which created thick frost on everything and made for some nice scenery. Here’s a shot of one of the walking trails we frequent.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. I’ll be continuing with my Kauai photos again, there are still a lot to go through. Here’s a shot looking down into Waimea Canyon from the top of Waipo’o Falls. It was a little tricky getting down to this spot from the end of the main trail, but worth it.

Here’s another shot of our destination as we got a little closer. I used a different focal length for this shot, so we weren’t quite as close yet as it might seem. It would be another half an hour before we arrived at that spot.

We continued on from the Waimea Canyon lookout area to the trail-head to start our hike. Before long we were given this view. The ridge trail in the distance was our destination, as the Waipo’o falls are right around the corner from there.
