Description

Hanalei Valley, on the North Shore, offers one of the most famous views on Kauai. The valley is one mile wide and six miles long. Most of the taro grown in Hawaii is grown here. Legend has it that the rainbow came to Hawaiian Islands from the bluffs just beyond the valley when a piece of brightly colored kapa cloth was thrown into a pool below Namolokama Falls, and its colors arched up in the mist.

Beautiful place and image! It looks gorgeous on zoom. I love the dramatic clouds and taro fields! The mountains are lovely in their green splendor and as they fade to bluer tones in the distance. I like fables of how things came to be. The story of the rainbow paints a pretty picture in my mind.

There's something vaguely unsettling to me about this picture, and I'm not sure what it is. Great capture of course. I'll have to look at it for a while and see if I can figure it out.
