Na Pali is the name of the northwest coast of Kauai, a stunningly beautiful area of high sea cliffs covered with lush vegetation, and cut by deep, narrow valleys and waterfalls. Insatiable sunset chasers that we are, we decided to take the long, twisty road up to Kalalau Lookout one evening, to see the sun set over the ocean from the top of the cliffs. Unfortunately, when we got there, a dense, cottony mist had settled on the coast, completely obliterating the view. We waited around a few minutes, and were about to drive back down, when magically, the wind picked up and the clouds parted just long enough for me to take this shot.
