Photo flight from Kona airport to the North Kohala area of the Big Island of Hawai'i


Headed north for the Kohala mountains



Lava flow just north of the Kona airport



Mauna Kea in the distance (>13,700' high)



Home of a doctor that developed one of the erectile dysfunction treatment drugs – see swimming pool!



Headed southeast for Waipio, not too far from Hawi and Kapa'au



Some of the many canyons





WaimanuValley – headed into the gorge



Lahomene Falls, in Waimanu Valley



Waipi’o Valley




Getting ready to pop over the ridge, through the blue hole yonder



Four Seasons resort, built on top of a lava flow. This doesn't seem terribly smart to me



Headed North West on our way back to Kona
