Pow Wow power walk and Kakaako sunset 5/23/21

Did the Pow Wow power walk with the Meetup.com hiking crew. This time I was able to capture some more of the murals that I missed the last time plus we were able to use the Pow Wow interactive app that sports some hidden special effects on some of the murals. Anyhow, let's get started!

Some old murals

These three here were obscured by cars the last time. Now I get to take the full pic in it's full glory.

Some murals I missed the last time

Unfortunately, we were in a rush to get to the sunset so I didn't get all of them but I did capture a bit more that I missed the last time.

Artist hard at work

Girl from Cali touching up her work

Darn it. I thought I snapped this mural painting the last time but it seems like it is new artwork. I'll get it next time. Once again, a girl flew in from California to touch up her work. Give her a hand.

Interactive examples

These are two of 11 ( I was told) murals that featured interactive features on the app. The app is Pow! Wow! AR.

Kakaako sunset and Ehime Maru memorial

Shiba! Anyhow, the clouds were blocking the sun that day. I've been here before to capture the sunset so I've had better days. Anyhow, have a good day. Thank you Jesus for a safe and fun walk.

Today in Oahu, Hawaii 6/30/20: Laie Point Sea Arch, Sunset Beach, Sharks Cove, Laniakea Beach, and Haleiwa Alii Beach.

La'ie Point (La'ie Point State wayside Park) Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Ditto on the Tamron Also known as "Lizard Rock." There is a story behind this but I won't divulge into it. You can look this up online. I finally got a chance to check this place out. A very nice scenery with a small parking lot. Also folks, try to park in a fashion where others can park and enjoy the view as well. There was a car that literally, in a sense, double parked (took up lots of space) forcing me to nearly park near an edge. Please be courteous to others. We want to enjoy the view and grab memories as well. Sunset Beach A shot under the tree A shot under the tree: the opposite direction As you enter the beach, to your right is the famous 100 year old tree that everybody sits and takes a pic with despite a sign telling you to not sit on it. Yeah,...

Fairbanks, Alaska 3/6-3/9

Here was the ender to my trip before my return to HNL. First time to Alaska and hopefully it won't be my last. Santa Claus House Possibly the best place to shop for gifts if you are near here. It's about 20-25 mins south of Fairbanks. Antler Arch The museums here are free. Take advantage. The arch was close by as well. Ice Museum Fairbanks $15. Good for family, couple, or group pics. Regardless, there is a slide here that is worth the admission. Around the area, there is a Moldovan restaurant named Soba. It was my first time and worth the try! Pioneer Park Closed during these times, its a neat touristy spot to walk your legs. You can walk inside but most shops and attractions are closed however. Come during summer. Pikes Waterfront Lodge This was the place where I initially wanted to stay at first but Airbnb often provide cheaper results. The Love Alaska sign is here and there are some ice sculptures as well. I say this is the hotel that is worth a see if you are here. My ...

Makiki Valley secret waterfall Oahu hikes

Because it's considered a secret I can not divulge how to get there. If you recognize some of the landmarks in my pics, then it should be good enough to tell you where it is. The waterfall is found in Makiki Valley loop trail so good luck. It is roughly about 20-30 mins in from the entrance. I did this with the meetup.com crew. So enjoy the pics. If you find it then good for you. And remember to keep it a secret. The waterfall Enjoy. It's a nice scene if you do find it. You can hike to the top of the fall in which I did. It's like several minutes if anything from the bottom. Just always watch your footing. Take care folks. Thank you God and thank you to the meetup.com crew. Laters.
