The Big Island

The Big Island was quite unlike anywhere that I have ever been. You could go from a barren wasteland to tropical rainforest in only a few minutes of driving. Here's a few of the many different landscapes we saw.


Contrasts of water, black lava, green grass and white palm trees.


Resting Turtles.


Cactus in the North Kohala.


An extinct cone near Waimea.


The lush Pololu Valley.


Cliffs and a black sand beach.


The Pu'u O'o lava flow as it enters the ocean.


The Pu'u O'o lava flow from 2003 where it crossed the Chain of Craters Road.


Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, near the Kilauea Iki Crater.


Akaka Falls.


Sunset from Kona.

Oh, to be back there where it's warm and sunny! Of all the varied landscapes, my favourite is still where the palm trees sway by the turquoise sea.
