12-12-06 Honolulu City Lights

Fariba, Richard, George and I braved downtown Honolulu to take pictures of the City's annual Honolulu City Lights event.    For some reason I wasn't particularly inspired...this is the best I could come up with.



This reminds me of a Rorschach Test.



Aren't these shadows cool?  It was Fariba that noticed them and suggested taking pictures.


Those are Santa and Mrs. Claus's feet.


Honolulu Hale all decked out.


 "Kawaiahaʻo Church was commissioned by the regency of Kaʻahumanu during the reigns of Kamehameha II and Kamehameha III. Designed by Rev. Hiram Bingham in the New England style of the Hawaiian missionaries, it was constructed between 1836 and 1842 of some 14,000 thousand-pound slabs of coral rock quarried from an offshore reef on the southern coast of Oʻahu. Hawaiian divers with hand tools dived 3 to 6 metres below sea-level to chisel out each coral block, which had then to be transported from the reef and onto shore."

One of my favorite buildings.
