While waiting for Ali to complete her Secret Service interview, I decided to wander around the waterfront area and take a few photos with the trusty point-and-shoot - instead of going to the Apple store and quite possibly buying the new 27' iMac (I'm proud of myself - lol).
I stopped by Point Panic first, but the surf was small kine to say the least, so I decided to walk over to Kaka'ao Water Park which underwent some serious renovation a few years ago. The park is a sprawling series of gentle grass covered hills and cement walkways fronting the ocean and offers many different activities.
While we don't suffer much man-made air pollution here, one thing we do get is vog- which could easily be mistaken for fog or air pollution - thanks to Mauna Kea on the Big Island.
As you can see in the picture below of the older gentleman fishing at Point Panic, Diamond Head is visible in the distant haze (vog) so to speak.
As you can see there are several winding pathways throughout the park that make for a scenic walk or short run (unless you make a few laps) just about every day of the year :)
There are gentle slops and grass covered hills - popular with pet owners and afternoon picnickers of alike.
I was unaware of this memorial to the Ehime MARU which you can read more about by following the link.
Yet another view of the grassy slopes and gorgeous ocean vistas found throughout the park.
There's a path that leads to the "summit" of the park if you will that affords views of the John A Burns Medical School and on a clear day, views from Ewa to Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head. So if you find yourself in the downtown area with a bit of time to kill, or just want to take in the sights, check it out - it's free, and yet another of the many things I love about Hawaii :)
That's all for now, hopefully we'll have some time to go out and about on my next days off - maybe some FUUD pics this time. Until then - stay safe and happy out there.
P.S. - Happy Halloween!
