Return to Thurston Lava Tube I posted another picture of the Thurston Lava Tube a few weeks ago. This shot was taken toward the end of the tube. The stair are visible, along with people who had been ahead of us. Inside the tube, it’s lit well enough to be able to see where you’re going, but […]

Sunrise at Nukoli‘i Beach Beginning the day down along the shore at Nukoli‘i Beach was always a favorite part of my days when we visited Kaua‘i. Each morning, a flock of sunrise watchers gather to see the clouds part and the rays of golden sunshine poke through. As you can see in the photo above, […]

Right in town, it offers locals and tourists almost twenty-five acres to hang out, enjoy the grounds, or simply relax.

Inside Thurston Lava Tube If you ever have the chance to get to Volcano’s National Park, be sure to walk through the Thurston Lava Tube. This is an amazing experience. It’s not the easiest trek because there are steps and rough surfaces. The distance is only about a third of a mile, but it can […]

At the Iolani Palace gate One of our most memorable moments during our last Honolulu trip was the visit to ‘‘Iolani Palace. The history is amazing and truly highlights the grandeur of the times as well as a terrible case of betrayal. While waiting for our tour to start, I took this shot of this […]

Melodic tones from the Byodo-In Temple Sacred Bell Oh, yeah, this was fun. Test your skills on the Sacred Bell if you ever get to Byodo-In Temple. It’s not as easy as just giving the wooden log (a shu-moku) a push. The bell itself is called a bon-sho and is housed in a bell house, which […]

Gorgeous Byodo-In Temple Grounds In other Friday Fotos posts, I’ve mentioned the lush Byodo-In Temple grounds. Here’s an overview looking back toward the parking lot. As you can see, the scaffolding that covered the front of the temple is off to the right. However, the work did not reduce the overall effect of the grounds […]

Byodo-In Lagoon sparkles Each time I post one of these Byodo-In Temple photos, I’m reminded of how beautiful the grounds were. This is one of those places on O‘ahu I’d return to in a heartbeat.

It’s a Lapahoehoe splash! The water at Lapahoehoe looked so inviting it made me wish I had snorkel gear with me. There were a number of snorkelers in the water, but none of them ventured out here. Since I didn’t have my suit, but I did have my camera, I did the next best thing […]

Onomea Bay calling! The was supposed to be just a drive into Hilo to run a few errands, but I wanted to take the back road. We had heard the sounds of Onomea Bay calling, but hadn’t heeded the call. The back road trip was perhaps a way to experiment and see if we could […]
