Well our last few days in Hawaii were busy. Two days down in Hana and a couple of trips up to the Haleakala Crater. Gotta say the drive to Hana was beautiful! But, the highlight was a visit to the Seven Sacred Pools just a short distance past the town – just flat gorgeous! As is the hike above the pools to Waimoku Falls. Both should be at the top of any visitors list of things to see while in Maui. While there, we were lucky enough to have one of our few sunsets. If you look close you can see the highway just above the upper falls.
This was Saturday night. We are now back in Alaska where the forecast is for lows down to zero and winds of 50-60 mph. Standing in this stream in my shorts and sandals seems like a different life time!

Awesome! I’ll be standing in the warm ocean & mountain streams in my sandals for both of us soon enough. 😉
Really nice Ron. This is one of my favorite spots on Maui as well. May the spirit of Aloha keep you warm through the Alaskan winter!
Fantastic image Ron. Every time I’ve visited this location the water level has been too low Stunning light and masterful exposure as always..
The color of the sky in the wather….maybe it’s light of paradise..?? Beautiful!!

Gorgeous shot Ron, the color in the reflections is amazing. Very “cool” picture.
Beautiful image. Is that the sunset reflecting in the water?

Thanks Donna!
Beautiful, beautiful! Looks like an imaginary spot! I must say, the 7 Sacred Pools in Hawaii have the ones here in Sedona beat. Nice that you had some time in warm weather before the winter really sets in in Alaska.

Thanks Joni – it is a wonderful place, and that was a nice break from the Alaska Winter!
Such a beautiful place Ron. I love the reflections also, and the foreground rocks that lead to the lush green environment. The photo communicates quite a bit about the geology and habitat here.
