Into the clouds

IMG_0117
This was a hike that took us literally into the clouds. Go to [ my Flickr page ] to view other images from this series or go to [ my Hawai'i Video blog ] to view a short video.

Walking up sheer cliffs in high winds, rain, mud, and slippery footing, this was surely a memorable hike. Two hours up and two hours return. It got so cold at the top, my drink got a nice refrigeration!!!

  1. I think you have everything but why must white towel? Is white your favorite color for towel? Just wondering :))

  4. hehehe kate was funny
    I would add sun lotion.. not for that case because it seems there's no much sun...
    How high were you?

  5. Hummmm, no hat?

    Love the white towel, surely a colourful beach towel wouldn't work as well as a distress signal if waved !

    Kala, I fell in love with all your wave/beach shots of late.

    Also surprised at reading the frangipani flower called Plumeria. Had never heard of that name before... I think.
