Sacred to Hawaiians, this majestic Waterfall was located on the Big Island of Hawaii.  A trail along the Kohala Ditch, led to this 1000 foot Waterfall, which dropped hundreds of feet above and below the trail.  This was a favourite hike for many before October 2006.  An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 off the northwest coast of the Big Island, destroyed the path leading to this spectacular site.  These pictures were taken about a week before the earthquake.  I cherish them, knowing that these pictures will never be captured again.  Hopefully one day, Kapoloa Falls will cascade again in all its glory. 

I thank my husband and Jim , a good friend and professional photographer, for making this happen.
