Around the island in less than a day

Ryan's cousin came to Oahu to run the Honolulu Marathon. In their short stay on Oahu, we took them on a 220mile round island tour from sunrise to sunset.  Here are a few shots from around the island.

This bird was hanging outside Burger King on Schofield Base.  Not sure if it is part of the spotted thick-knee family?

Diamond was sporting the greenest look we've ever seen.

The cruise ship port faces traffic coming off of Bishop street downtown.  Always an amusing view when a few vehicles back.

 

While at a networking function in the Topa Financial Center Penthouse, we walked out on the lanai and realized that we had a view of our house on Pacific Heights.  Here is what we saw.

Zoomed in a little

A spectacular view of the sunset



The sun appears to be melting into the ocean



Nearly everyone networking out on the Plumeria patio, stopped their conversations and got out their cameras to capture the beautiful sunset view.

Millipedes may look intriguing with all their legs, but they are a pesky nuisance in HI.

 

The 10/4 sunset offered very minimal color with dramatic clouds and slight pink backlighting hints.

The skies were like a painting on the way home from Hawaii Kai

Our ongoing joke...Hawaii has beautiful power lines!
