Napali Coastline.....from the back, I wish I'd had my camera during the whale watching tour, the Coastline from the front was a beautiful sight... Coastline with ocean in the background..

Chickens and Roosters were everywhere on the Island...in the 90's they had Cock fights and then they were outlawed and penned but then there was a Hurricane and they all got away. Now they are just loose....everywhere.
