Hawaiian Landscapes: Limahuli Stream
I have been to the island of Kaua’i a couple of times before and each time I have enjoyed exploring the north shore particularly along the Na Pali coast. If you drive up to Ke’e Beach and the trailhead for the Kalalau Trail, right near the end of the road you will cross over the Limahuli Stream.
On my last trip on one trip I passed the creek and I was captivated by the scene and wished we had time to stop. Unfortunately, at that moment, we could not stop and I have honestly had many dreams about this location and photographing here over the past three years since that trip. On this last visit, we made time to stop and I really enjoyed having a little time in this beautiful place. Here are a few images from Limahuli.
Beautiful photos.
May I ask why the water in the first and third photos looks blurred and almost like a painting? Is it due to its motion or an effect on the camera.

Hi! Thank you for visiting and for your question. The blur is the result of longer exposures. With water like this, anything over 1/4 of a second will start to show the blur. I think these were in the .5 second to 1 second range.
Cheers,
Chris

The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. I love streams, rivers, brooks…any kind of natural running water really. I find the sound of the water so peaceful, and I can almost hear it seeing your lovely pictures! Thanks for taking us travelling to Hawai’i with you through your wonderful photography 🙂
