I'll bet you didn't know we had a pretty grand canyon in Hawaii, too. This is Waimea Canyon on the island of Kauai and that's my son-in-law. He, my daughter and granddaughter are visiting because Ed had a computer job on Kauai. I'm amazed they found and hired him (in Chicago) all the way from over here. This photo was actually taken by Ed. He just self timed it and stood on the railing to get this shot.

That is a GRAND canyon, and no, I didn't know this. Love the shot.
ReplyDeletethis shot is beautiful! I encourage everyone who visits here today to click on your photo to see all the interesting details!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a spectacular view... I had no idea there was a grand canyon in Hawaii. Gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteMusing: My that is a grand canyon with a cloudy sky. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow isn't that stunning and know I did not know about it. Just another reson to make it to Hawaii one day!
ReplyDeleteWe've been to Waimea Canyon on Kauai two or three times, Kay, and it really is this beautiful, isn't it? To me, though, the grand finale of the trip up to the canyon and beyond is the spectacular view down along the Na Pali. I love that view!
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten there was a canyon there, I read about it years ago. Looks quite dangerous... that photo
ReplyDeleteWe loved Waimea Canyon when we visited. Just one of our favorite spots in Kauai...which, I think, is my favorite of the Islands. It's a tough choice to make, though.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous view! Very nice photo!
ReplyDeleteCool - and you're right! I didn't know that the Grand Canyon had an affiliate in Hawaii!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
Amazing photo!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! The photo is beautiful as is, but when clicked to enlarge it is stunning! Your son-in-law framed it just perfectly. Thanks for sharing it with us on Sky Watch!

Hi Kay! Very beautiful. I took Lily Hydrangea advise and WOW. Is that a helicopter or a bird?
ReplyDeleteYour son-in-law looks like he is "The King of the World". Lisa
That canyon is certainly grand, in every sense of the word. Beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteAnd the photo in your header is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI left a message here earlier, but Blogger was bogged down and I lost it. This is a fabulous picture.
ReplyDeleteI have been there once, and I have tickets to come again in December. It is unusual (isn't it?) to have such a view free of fog and/or rain.
Wow that canyon color is amazing! I had no idea Hawaii had a canyon like that!! I'm putting that on my list of places to visit some day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, it looks like they could fly.

Very cool shot. I have a photo of the grand canyon and they look similar. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCheers
this is a great photo! very magnificent landscape, love the guy standing there (:
ReplyDeleteHi Kay, this is a nice Skywatch picture of the sky but also of the canyon. The word Waimea must have a Hawaiian meaning, we stayed for a while at Waimea and it was in Maui.
ReplyDeleteThank you for peeking at my clouds from the sky, yes we spend more time in the airport nowadays than we do in the air. I hope you don't have to spend that much time waiting for your island hops, I remember it was 'walkon' and often.
Happpy Skywatching,

ReplyDeleteHi, Kay. JUst checking in to catch up before we're off again.
ReplyDeleteWhen my husband and I visited Waimea Canyon many years ago, the sky was in the canyon. As we looked over the clif it was into a wall of fog. Very disappointing.
It is grand.
I have never heard about this place. Its amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a magnificent photo and the richness of the colours is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot:)I think I would feel like the person in the picture if got to see a place like this:)
