Island of Hawai'i

Sunset outside Kona

View from South Point, the southernmost place in the United States. Best enjoyed with Hawaiian sweetbread from the nearby Punalu'u Bakery (the southernmost bakery in the US)

Fractured lava rock poking through the foliage near the end of "Chain of Craters" road in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.


This botanical garden is a short drive north of Hilo on the lush eastern side of the island of Hawai'i. They have tropical plants from all over the world within the grounds. If you are interested in photography, it is definitely worth a visit!
