Akaka Falls on the windward side
Puna Trail, near the eastern tip of the island
Rough coast near the Kalapana Sea View Estates
Landscape formed by the 1993 Kalapana lava flows
Sulfur on stones near Kilauea Caldera. Fortunately, there is no smell:// protocol yet.

Kilauea Caldera with Halemaumau Crater. Unfortunately, this awesome, majestic scenery cannot be adequately represented by a computer screen.
Warning signs at the end of the Chain of Craters Road. The plume of steam in the background is caused by lava hitting the sea.
Another attempt at scaring away careless tourists
A blocked street
Holei Sea Arch
Maui Lu Resort (probably won't survive the next Tsunami...)
Obligatory cliché sunset
Hanalei Valley
Hanapepe River Valley
Kilauea Lighthouse Bay
Waimea Canyon - a.k.a. "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific" (and rightfully so!)
Kalalau Lookout
The "wettest spot on earth" - 11450 mm of rain per year... Chris seems to be associating something else with this term, judging from his roguish grin.
Lumahai Beach on the north shore
Poipu Beach Park on the south shore
A GTE payphone
German culture in the central Pacific
Ke'e Beach on the north shore, one of our favorite places. Lots of chicks... Yes, Kauai is full of wild chicken, and occasionally, some mother hen would take her young ones out to the beach.
Aerial views of the mostly inaccessible, yet visually spectacular inner parts of Kauai (remember the IMAX movie "Hidden Hawaii"?)
Ke'e Beach
Na Pali Coast

The Turtle Bay Hilton turned out to be a much nicer place than its counterpart located in Waikiki.
This is what the view from a hotel room should look like.
