Kīlauea is a volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, and one of five shield volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi. Kīlauea means "spewing" or "much spreading" in the Hawaiian language, referring to its frequent outpouring of lava. The Puʻu ʻŌʻō cone has been continuously erupting in the eastern rift zone since 1983, making it the longest rift-zone eruption of the last 200 years. Thirty-five eruptions have taken place since 1952, not including the current episode. Lava less than 1000 years old covers 90% of Kīlauea,[3] and the volume of erupted material is large enough to pave a road around the world three times.
Honolulu , on the island of Oahu, is the capital and largest city of the state of Hawaii. It is the center of government, transportation, and commerce for the state; home to a population of nearly one million people in the metro area (80% of the state's population) and Hawaii's best known tourist destination, Waikiki Beach.
Districts
Honolulu extends inland from the southeast shore of Oahu, east of Pearl Harbor to Makapu'u Point, and incorporates many neighborhoods and districts. You'll most often hear people refer to these districts by name -- Waikiki, Manoa, Kahala, Hawaii Kai and so on -- as though they're not part of the same city. Technically, they are. In fact, the municipal government of Honolulu covers the entire island of Oahu, including its outlying suburbs.
This guide focuses on attractions and accommodations located in Honolulu proper; for more information on Oahu's outlying communities, see the Oahu article.
Downtown
The historic heart of the city, home to the state capitol, several museums, the harborfront, and the commercial center of the Hawaiian Islands.
Waikiki
The tourist center of Hawaii: white sand beaches, crowds of surfers and sunbathers, and block after block of highrise hotels.
Manoa-Makiki
A quieter area in the foothills north of Downtown, home to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in the Punchbowl crater, and the tropical scenery of the Koolau Mountains behind the city.
Eastern Honolulu
A mostly residential area which extends to Makapu'u Point, the very southeastern corner of the island and home to rocky shorelines, scenic beaches, and the popular snorkeling spot Hanauma Bay.
Western Honolulu
Another major residential area, home to the airport, the Bishop Museum, and the military memorials of Pearl Harbor.

hawaii is the most recent of the 50 U.S. states (August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, occupying most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean, southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan, and northeast of Australia. Hawaii’s diverse natural scenery, warm tropical climate, abundance of public beaches and oceanic surrounding, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists alike. Due to its mid-Pacific location, Hawaii has many North American and Asian influences along with its own vibrant native culture. Hawaii has over a million permanent residents along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
I had the pleasure of seeing and photographing "The Celtic Pipes and Drums of Hawaii" performance at the Hawaiian Scottish Festival in Honolulu. What a wonderful group of musicians! This is Dan my neighbor.

A very friendly Hawaiian goose (or Nene Bird as they are also known) eats out of my Mum's hand this morning at Martin Mere. The Hawaiian goose was adopted as the official bird of Hawaii in 1957. The Hawaiian goose is among the most threatened of all waterfowl and is the sixth most endangered waterfowl species worldwide. So it's always a joy to see them at Martin Mere and get close to them :))
This is just one photo of the full photographic narrative of a wonderful few days in Hilo, Hawaii. Here, we explored the town, farmer’s markets, found our new favorite brewery (Ola), and of course, explored the awe-inspiring Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve pictured here.
What is a photographic narrative?
My definition: “A sequence of photos deliberately arranged to follow a character or set of characters over time”.
This is different from how I see the term used the majority of the time, in that it usually seems to refer to a collection of photos which, when displayed juxtaposed, demonstrate some theme or concept. To me, this is not a story. To me, a story must follow a character or set of characters, and must have a temporal dimension. And this is what I attempt to capture in my photographic narratives. When displayed in sequence, these photos allow the viewer to follow the events of a story as they unfold over time, almost like a collection of stills from a movie.
