Nicely detailed airplane view looking inland from the Waikiki beachfront with Moana Valley and the Koolau Mountains in the background. Fifteen years after statehood, south shore Oahu was quickly being transformed. Vintage but undated and severely red-shifted Pana-Vue souvenir slide color corrected using Pixelmator Pro.
