My temporary assignment to the Aloha State presented ample opportunities to explore the military history and natural beauty of Oahu. These photos feature my visit to Pearl Harbor, the Battleship MIssouri, Hickam Air Force Base and National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific May 20, 2016.
Several photos taken at Hickam Air Force Base feature the very street and barracks where my grandfather and father lived during their respective tours with the U.S. Army Air Corps and U.S. Air Force. Both flew a variety of military transport aircraft. Their combined service record includes missions throughout the Pacific, Europe and the Americas during World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada and the Gulf War.
Called Pu'uloa, meaning "long hill," or Wai Momi, literally, "water of pearl," by early Hawaiians, Pearl Harbor, so named because of the abundance of pearls once found within its protected waters, is the largest natural harbor in the State of Hawaii and the number one visitor destination on Oahu.
Today, Pearl Harbor remains an active military base, Headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, and a National Historic Landmark that's home to four unique attractions: from the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor that started it all, to the surrender of the Japanese on the deck of the mighty Battleship Missouri, these four historic sites together tell the story of the War in the Pacific, commemorating the accomplishments of a previous generation.
Located on the island of Oahu, "The Gathering Place," halfway between Japan and the mainland United States, Pearl Harbor will always be a welcoming place where survivors of the attack can reflect on the events which led to the war and which had such a profound impact on the lives of an entire generation.
To those who fought in the war, to those whose lives were affected by the war, their children, grandchildren, and each succeeding generation, Pearl Harbor is a place where people from far-flung corners of the world can come together in peace to honor the memory of the fallen and to celebrate the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.
The National Cemetery in the Pacific serves as one of the Nation's two honored resting places in the Pacific. The American Military Cemetery at Manila is the other. It is a resting place for the recovered remains of those who gave their lives during World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

Deep inside the silence
staring out upon the sea
the waves are washing over
half forgotten memory
Deep within the moment
laughter floats upon the breeze
rising and falling dying down within me
and I swear I never knew, I never knew how it could be
and all this time all I had inside was what i
couldn't see
I swear I never knew, I never knew
how it couldn't be
all the waves are
washing over all that hurts inside of me
Beyond this beautiful horizon
lies a dream for you and i
this tranquil scene is
still unbroken by the
rumours in the sky
but there's a storm
closing in voices
crying on the wind
the serenade is growing
colder breaks my soul
that tries to sing
and there's so many many
thoughts
when I try to go to sleep
but with you I start to feel
a sort of temporary peace
there's a drift in and out

my photo-opportunity was spoilt by a fella on the bench noting how it was a well trodden one. . . ah well. . .

at our new house in Limington. My sister Amy gave us an almost-new fridge!!! and Mike's mom Bonnie gave us a microwave! What else could we possibly want?
Due to budget constraints, many zoos need to scale back their material costs. Laminated labels are confusing; are these labels permanent or temporary? Should I come back later for something better?
We were told there was an interesting "carpentry village" across this temporary bridge. After an hour and a half of walking in the rain to find it, no success. An enterprising local picked us up on his motorbike to take us back to the old town.

Weird light because I took this while Curly Girl was asleep, although she's a pretty heavy sleeper and I probably could have turned on her light.
