January = Ianuali

What is the name of this scenic valley?
This valley is located on the northern coast of the Big Island.

Its name means "curved water."

It was featured in the final scene of the 1995 film "Waterworld."

The steepest road in the U.S. (possibly the world) leads down into the valley from a lookout on the southern wall of the valley.

Not Who, but Where

Better late than never.

I just acquired this beatific calendar two days ago, so now I am finally ready to continue my calendar blog. But with this caveat. Instead of, as in years past, asking for who is being pictured each month, I will now be asking where the location is that is pictured (or the name of the location).

The common theme: All locations are to be found somewhere (as the title of the calendar implies) in the beautiful Hawaiian islands.

An interesting feature of this calendar is its inclusion of the Hawaiian name for each day of the week: Sunday = Lapule; Monday = Po'akahi; Tuesday = Po'alua; Wednesday = Po'akolu; Thursday = Po'aha; Friday = Po'alima; Saturday = Po'aono.
