Plate 15 – Clearing Storm Over Hawaiian Grand Canyon

Clearing Storm Over Hawaiian Grand Canyon

Sometimes it takes luck to come up with something worth saving.

Waimea Canyon (“the Grand Canyon of the Pacific”, as Mark Twain called it) is on the Kauai island, the oldest of all islands of Hawaii. However, this angle is not the one you usually see, as we pulled over on the side of the road and I took this from a “window” created by the trees rather than taking the usual tourist shot from the popular overlook. I took a few shots, and as I was walking away, other people who pulled over said “hey – look at that rainbow.” This got my attention, and as I turned around, I saw this huge rainbow show up all across the canyon that was at least a mile long. It only lasted for about 2 minutes, but the sight was a lot more memorable.

PS – Just got back from vacation. I will finish the portfolio shots today (.. at last!), and will resume regular blog posts.
