Akaka Falls drops 442 ft into the canyon cut into the black lava of ancient eruptions of Mauna Kea. The Kolekole Stream runs through this valley and feeds one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Hawaii. Surrounded by rain forest receiving up to 300 inches of rain a year the foliage is spectacular with orchids and many types of flora on the canyon walls.
It took us three attempts to capture this image due to rains. First day it rained all day. The second day we went in early morning only to have steady rain. In this shot on second day in the afternoon there was a mist in the air but to the west bits of blue skies.
