Wailua Falls, Maui, Hawaii

Wailua Falls is located on the far southeast side of Maui, Hawaii, south of the small town of Hana. As it happened it was drizzling rain so I dutifully ensconced my camera and tripod in a protective raincoat and set up to shoot this beautiful waterfall. The rain and mist created a primordial cast to the scene and, even though this was a very remote area of Maui, I could not help but wonder how the first native Hawaiians felt as they viewed this magnificent waterfall for the first time.
