Hawaii Photographic Society (HPS) met at Isamu Noguchi's sculpture - Skygate.
I did not take this picture - I found this picture when I looked up info about this sculpture. Notice the circular shadow below - it happens only twice a year - during the Lahaina Noon - when the sun shines directly overhead. Find out more about this amazing piece http://www.honolulumagazine.com/Honolulu-Magazine/July-2008/Skygate/
I had fun trying different angles.

"The city received the peace bell as a gift from survivors of the Nagasaki atomic bombing and their supporters as gesture of reconciliation. The bell was mounted on Dec. 7, 1990, and is a replica of the Bell of Nagasaki at Urakami Cathedral in Japan.

Since the bell was installed in Hawaii, it was been
rung at ceremonies in August every year in remembrance of the atomic bombing
during World War II and on Martin Luther King Jr. Day."
The markings of this tree intrigued me.

It was fun taking the time to see our downtown.

NICE! I really how you took different angles of things I've seen but you put a new spin to it.. creative idea!! very cool!!

Marie was helpful in pointing out some of the detail shots such as the knocker at Honolulu Hale and the door knob. Stan O. mentioned about the circular shadow. I was happy when I googled Skygate that the info and picture was available.
I will be very sad if I loose my camera.
