This week's Friday Field Photo is of the rugged Na Pali Coast on the island of Kaua'i. Earlier this year my wife and I eroded our savings and took a trip to Hawai'i. I had never been before and it was totally worth it. We spent five days on Kaua'i, the oldest (~5 million years) of the main Hawaiian islands.

The lava flows on Kaua'i are weathered to a beautiful reddish-brown color and dissected by canyons and gullies. Combine that with the bright green vegetation and the scenery is simply spectacular.

The Na Pali Coast is on the west-northwest side of the island and accessible only by foot. This photo was taken from a half-day cruise we did where we also saw this.
