There are few places in the world more tropically inspiring than the Hawaiian Islands, off the United States mainland.
Some 2,000 miles southwest off California find you in an eight island paradise, full of lush scenery and unique wildlife. Capture the beauty with these nature photography style Hawaiian Islands wallpaper downloads.
Hawaiian Islands wallpaper photography

There are around 135+ islands that technically make up the archipelago of Hawaii. Eight islands are considered the larger, main islands: Oahu; Maui; Hawaii (the Big Island); Kauai; Molokai; Lanai; and Niihau.
Capturing the natural beauty is difficult in a photograph. These Hawaiian Islands wallpaper downloads do a good job, within a small rectangular window, to show the varied landscapes one finds across the eight islands.
Ranging from tree covered peaks to black sand and white sea foam, the color pallet is infinite. The bright pink Hibiscus flower contrasts the lush dark greens and craggy black lava rock outcroppings that appear across the landscape.
My favorite of the downloads below is listed first. The image captures a giant mountain, immediately next to the plunging blue ocean, located in Oahu. The depth effect image is also a metaphor for the difference in height of the mountain that sits immediately adjacent to the depth of the ocean next to the coastline.
