Collection: Hawaii
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED
Location: Kulaniapia Falls, HI

Date Uploaded: Jun 21, 2008

This is a waterfall owned by the Inn at Kulaniapia Falls, where my wife and I stayed in Hilo on the Big Island in Hawaii (highly recommended!). This was on our 15th anniversary trip.

That's "koo-`lahn-ee-`ah-pee-uh" Falls.

We had nearly an hour swimming in the pond at the base all by ourselves. It truly was paradise, regardless of the voters' blase response. And the innkeeper loves this shot. :)

I'm not a huge fan of waterfall shots, but I quite liked this one. In fact, I almost typed that in the comment box when voting but didn't want to offend other waterfall shooters.

Nice shot. I think this would be really cool with a longer exposure to give it that satin look. Nice job.

Love the soft white flow of the water. Looks almost like ice. But that doesn't happen in Hawaii, does it? :) Hope you guys had a wonderful anniversary trip!

Very beautiful and the surrounding plants frame this very nicely.

great colors, imo i wonder if the composition would be better if you were more to the left?

Very pretty. The waterfall is well framed by the plant life.
