This is the view from Diamond head, Oahu. The top of Diamond head still has a few pill boxes (gun emplacements) from World War II that overlook the ocean and provide a little historical perspective.
The park below is lovely Kapiolani Park, named for Queen Kapiolani, sadly the last reigning queen of Hawaii before being deposed by American sugar plantation owners. Along the water, you can see the Natatorium war memorial and the cruisy Queen's Surf followed by the high rises and white sand beaches of Waikiki. If you could see further still, you would see the airport and Pearl Harbor. So, do you blame me for getting home sick once in a while?
