The big hole nobody sees

Though this is the primary source of aggregate on Oahu, no doubt it will someday (long after we're dead and gone) become a landfill. Shot this yesterday, thought some of you might wanna have a look at Kapaa Quarry in Kailua.

Cool picture. Just where is this? Could this be the Kapaa Quarry on the Windward side of O'ahu? Please advise.
I love aerial views of our islands and your pictures should be published as one huge book soon! Just let me know when you get published, OK?
Aloha,

kala mai, I forgot to name the site of the photo in my blog... Yes, this is indeed the Kapaa Quarry on the windward side of Oahu. The depth of the quarry pit is simply not viewable from the Kailua side (H3), nor from even the top of the Stairway to Heaven in Haiku. >Peter
