Akaka Falls – Hawaii

If you ever make it to the Big Island of Hawaii make sure you visit Akaka Falls.  We spent a day and drove around the island when we were staying in Kona and we were passing the turnoff to Akaka Falls right as the sun was starting to set.  It had been a long day so we nearly passed on the falls but made a last minute decision to stop.  It was definitely worth it.  It is a very beautiful falls that is over 400 feet tall.  Wow.

Cool Butts

I thought this was a funny sight – just a guys hand with a hose cooling off these two polo ponies after they were done with their match.

If you didn’t know this already each polo player has a set of 4 horses to be used in a match which consists of 4 chukkas or quarters.  The horses get tired by the end of their chukka so they need to get swapped out for a replacement.  It’s definitely not an economical sport.

Fishin’

When my wife and I were hiking in Cathedral Provincial Park I was soaking my toes in the lake to soothe the blisters a little and this is what I saw.  He didn’t catch anything while I was watching in case you’re wondering.

Solitude

I took this with my 300mm telephoto.  This windsurfer was way out there all by himself enjoying some great wind.  He was really flying.

Margaret Falls

If you ever go camping at Herald Provincial Park near Salmon Arm, BC, make sure you make the short hike up to Margaret Falls.  The hike itself is cool because it is through a rain forest microcosm in a narrow canyon in a region of the province that is quite dry.  You get the the end of the canyon and there is this great falls that is quite hard to get a good picture of because of its size relative to how far back you can get.  I could just barely fit the falls in my frame with my widest angle lens.
