This week, a couple of waterfalls on the island of La Reunion (which, bye-the-bye, also has its own active volcano, Piton de la Fournaise, erupting right now.) La Reunion is the French version of Hawaii: tropical, waterfalls, old volcanoes with landscapes like Kauai, and the active one, too. I've posted pictures of the big 1,000+ foot volcano in the Iron Hole crater; these are some other nice ones.

Cascade Niagara (not the one in Canada!)

Bonus: for a couple of days last week, Pu'u O'o crater on Hawaii (Kilauea) had active lava flows. The link is to a Quicktime movie of that:
