DOQQ

www.soest.hawaii.edu/.../ data/hawaii/index.html

While smaller than I wanted this is a DOQQ (Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangle) of the island of Kauai, Hawaii. A DOQQ, as the name suggests is a digital aerial photo using film that captures infrared light. This particular image is the northern coastline, also known as the Na Pali Coastline. This area is majestic. Because of the rugged terrain this area (and the interior) is not traversable by car. Therefore, to get from one side of the island to the other, you would have to drive all the way around.
