Photos From the Big Island

This is shortly after sunrise at the mouth of the Hakalau River, about 1 1/2 miles from our home.

 The main highway spans the river canyon about 100' over it.
This bridge used to be a narrower rail bridge and was widened
 to convert it to two lane car traffic after the sugar plantations
closed and the rail line went bankrupt.

   Akaka Falls is the highest on the Big Island and is only about 4 miles away.  It is an easy stop for tourists as it is only 2 miles off the highway and has a paved walkway from the parking lot.










Our guest house as viewed from the roof of our house.

Now (two years after the roof view picture) the whole area in front of the guest house
of this is covered by six lima bean plants that are over a year old.
