Hawaii 808

Photographed from the Napili-Honokowai coast, Maui. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz filters.
I took this photograph while I was flying in an open door helicopter as we were cruising along the steep cliffs of the Northshore of Molokai, Hawaii. You can see a waterfalls in the upper right hand corner. On the northern coast, east of Kalaupapa Peninsula, are the tallest sea cliffs in the world ranging from roughly 3,600 to 3,900 feet. This rugged coastline is inaccessible by land, but during the calmer waves of the summer months and with good weather, you can charter a boat tour to see these breathtaking natural wonders. Either by helicopter or boat the view of these cliffs are breathtaking!
I have been away for a bit and looking forward in catching up with my Flickr friends, in time.
The low clouds lifted for a glimpse of a late sunset off the coast of Moloka'i Island, Hawaii.
Happy weekend HCS
Kalaupapa National Historical Park: This park is a significant historical site, once a leper colony where people with Hansen's disease (leprosy) were forcibly isolated. The park preserves the history of the patients and the work of Saint Damien and Saint Marianne Cope, who dedicated their lives to caring for them.
- Halawa Valley: One of the island’s oldest inhabited regions, Halawa Valley offers a glimpse into ancient Hawaiian life with its archaeological sites, taro patches, and beautiful vistas. Guided cultural hikes often lead to stunning
North coast of Molokai near Pu'uka'oku Falls. The lush green landscape and towering cliffs felt like a scene from Jurassic Park.

Just off the road around mile 10 of Kamehameha V Hwy, Molokai, Hawaii. Across the water is the Hawaiian island of Lanai.
Here's another image rescued from the Hawaii Nights archive. It's Molokai, once again. You drive a narrow road - the kind that takes you one hour to drive 10 miles - to the easternmost point of the island, as away from any village as you can in the island, which is already far and away from the rest of the world in almost every way. It's dark, but the Moon is still bright. There'll be no one waiting for you there. You arrive, get out of the car, walk towards the beach, set foot right behind this scene, sit down on the sand, take a deep but relaxing breath and, as you stare at the Milky Way rising over a setting moon behind the cliffs, go: "This would do".

Thanks!
Located on Molokai's north-west shore, Pohakumauliuli Beach features two white-sand beach coves and a few large tide pools. The nearby large red-faced hill is very old, partially collapsed volcanic cinder cone called Pohaku Mauliuli, which means “black rock” in the Hawaiian language. Some red in the rocks are from the iron content of the lava. You can see many interesting ancient lava flows some looks like they are frozen in time from the interaction of molten lava and the ocean.
My fortunate self woke up to this sight from my window this morning. This is a view, from Maui, of the island of Molokai, Hawaii. My coffee is for me, my reverie for me and my thoughts are are for my Flickr friends!
Wonderful colors viewed from a helicopter. The flight started in Kahului, Maui, and cruised along the shores of Maui and Molokai. It's a great way to experience the Hawaiian Islands.
Northeast coast of Molokai, not sure if they're the tallest cliffs above the ocean in the world but Wiki claims so:
Taken from a (VERY bumpy) Mokolele airline commuter flight from Molokai to Maui in the afternoon.
