Sunday Stills

Is it Sunday already?? I'm on spring break and I'm getting far less done then I normally do. What is that saying, if you want something done ask a busy person. Well, I'm apparently working on proving the reverse, if you're not busy nothing gets done. Anywho....... This week's the subject is landscapes (I actually had to go look, I had forgotten). Since I have all kinds of landscapes from all around the island I decided to pull from the archives today. The hard part was finding one I haven't used before. But I did.

A couple of weeks ago we went to Aloha Tower:

and did something we haven't done in years.....Went to the top. From there I took a number of pictures on Honolulu and I thought I'd use one of those.

This one is taken facing east toward Waikiki. What you see is downtown Honolulu into Waikiki.

If you look really closely you can see the peak of Diamond Head between the buildings in the middle of the picture. There was a time, no so very long ago, when the law was there could be no building higher then a coconut tree in Honolulu. They had to pass a special ordinance to build Aloha Tower and that was the tallest structure in the state for a long, long time. I wish I could go back in time and see it when it was like that. I tried to find a photo from pre-statehood days and though I know they exist no one apparently has scanned them and posted them on the web. Anyway, that's my entry for today and I'm off now to see what everyone else did. If you want to join in the frivolity just click on the badge above.
