Waipio Valley
Waipio Valley is located to the NE corner of Big Island, and is little off of the beaten path. It is easy to get to but long way from the resort towns.
But after a long drive, when you get there you are greeted with this scene. It is a normal fault induced landslide feature on the northern edge of Kohala volcano. It is surrounded on three sides by 2500 ft tall sea cliffs, with waterfalls coming down, as if from the sky.
People live there down in the valley. There is taro farming in the valley and one of the most beautiful secluded black sand beach. Go there if you can, you won't regret it.

Amazing shots, both... I always say you need clouds to help dress up a shot - as seen in the first, leaving shadows and sunlight patches on the land... :)
The second is undeniably breath-taking, beyond comprehension even! That many falls, together... falling from that height/drop... and where are they coming from... seemingly the sky? with a puff of spray? clouds?!
They are coming from the plateau 2500 ft above the valley floor, which remain cloud covered most of the time. So it appears the water is coming down from the cloud.
Bet that creates lots of local beliefs and stories... ancient folklore...
woww.. thats stunning!! wanna hear the sound of the waterfall:)
