"Upside Down Falls" -- Tropical Mountain Waterfall Scene, Hawaii

Labeled 'Upside Down Falls' in the album owner's own hand, this photograph depicts the famous windblown waterfall phenomenon near the Nuuanu Pali on Oahu, where trade winds push falling water back up the cliff face. Scenic snapshots like this one, taken amid the lush Hawaiian landscape, illustrate the sightseeing pursuits of servicemen and residents on Oahu during the WWII years, when the island functioned as a critical Pacific military hub.
