words from the world

On the island of Kauai, we can sojourn several weeks, plan a daily hike, get enthusiastic at each time for the wonderful sights and finally leave and have the feeling we don't see everything, thousands of secrets, hidden waterfalls, craggy ridges remain to be discovered. I rent a car and head for the west coast following the circular road which describes the periphery of the island. So little time, I drive without admiring the mount Waialeale, the wettest area in the world that gets more than 12m of water each year, to reach the Waimea canyon. A prodigious scar which is really unbelievable when we know the small size of the island.











Alongside the road, signs indicate the beginning of treks but I can't stop and that's with a certain disgust I push the accelerator down and ignore these calls. I've chosen another hike which will allow me to see the Na Pali coast from above. The walk through the forest differs from the Kalalau trail. An easier trek which ends onto an ochre-earth plateau. A supplementary and inviting view of this natural highlight. As proof, this series of snapshots which immortalized a blend of water, air and earth forever.
