The only beach that was open on this day that saw occasional 30-35 ft. faces. Locals wait in line for upwards of 30-45 minutes to catch theirs. Taken 2 Nov 2010.
This day on the North Shore of O'ahu all the beaches were closed out due to high surf. This local is considering whether it would be worth it to take his board out here at Sunset Beach. Only Waimea Bay was open to surfers. Taken 2 Nov 2010.
Docked just a few dozen yards from where the USS Arizona lies is the USS Missouri, the battleship where the treaty that ended US involvement in WWII was signed. Fitting that the bookends of the war for the US are located right next to each other. Taken 1 Nov 2010.
Happy Birthday to my dear bride. No, she didn't get a horse for her birthday, but she sure enjoyed hanging out with this one, near Daniels, UT. Taken 2 Sep 2010.
Ko'Olina has 4 manmade lagoons, and they're relatively uncrowded and offer surprisingly decent snorkeling. This is the one numbered #3. Water temp about 81 degrees. Taken 29 Oct 2010.
About 10 miles out from landing at Honolulu International Airport. Coming in over Ko'olina and Pearl Harbor with the Wai'anae Mountains of O'ahu in the background. Taken 28 Oct 2010.
