Those are some awsome pictures. I have been to Oahu quite a few times for work so to was nice to see some familiar places. They made me wish that I were there right now!! Were those taken on a helicopter tour of the island?

Pretty sweet, thanks for posting them

amonkie · 10-20-2004, 02:00 AM

Fred,

Yes, they were taking by helicopter. It was really cool to fly over some of the places I'd been by road, and be able to pick them out while flying over. Glad you enjoyed them!

paddyjoe · 10-20-2004, 03:28 AM

Wow, another great set amonkie. Nice birds-eye view.

Thanks for posting these. I'm thinking now about my next holiday.

StickODynomite · 10-20-2004, 10:13 AM

Ok that's it.. I'm moving to Hawai'i one day.

Glad I spurred your decision! It's amazing - there's quite a few more pictures, but these give a general idea. The water was even bluer from the sky than they turned out in some of the pictures.

absorbentishe · 10-20-2004, 11:36 AM

Those are awesome. Makes me want to go there, now! Living there would be a little expensive though, but I'm sure it's worth it.

powerclown · 10-20-2004, 11:36 AM

What a phenomenal shade of blue water! And the shoreline drive along it..wow.
It's official...I am definitely not living right.

dobster · 10-20-2004, 11:39 AM

they are stunning amonkie. I particularly like the inland ones.

inharmony · 10-20-2004, 12:35 PM

Does it ever not look amazing there? Beautiful.

DDDDave · 10-20-2004, 12:46 PM

Fantastic pics.....

This is the one I was telling you about where the Pali tunnel exits the Koolau mountains..

We went horseback riding in the woods in the middle of this pic...

In the foothills of these fingers of the Koolau mountains is the Koolau Golf Course. It is rated 'the hardest in the Nation' (for you golfers it has a slope rating of 163, USOpen courses are 150-155, you local course is 70-73)....

Somehow you never get tired of looking at Diamond Head...

tropicdiver · 10-20-2004, 01:21 PM

Great photos. Oh, I'm so ready to go back there.

craven · 10-23-2004, 05:18 AM

thanks.............

molly123 · 11-12-2004, 01:52 PM

pinkie · 11-13-2004, 07:42 AM

WOWOWOWOWOWOW................ OMG, WOW........HOLY SHIT, WOW.......

Seriously, those are amazing, amonkie. Thanks so much for the post!

The one powerclown reposted is my favorite, too.

My favorite too - My dad hung onto my plane ticket until we were leaving to make sure I didn't just *accidentally* lose it - I have friends who live there too.... I wanna go back!!!!

jason87 · 11-13-2004, 09:37 PM

nice pictures

Nancy · 11-15-2004, 05:02 AM

Haiwaii looks awesome *sigh*.. it reminds me how much I wanna go there some day..

Daoust · 11-15-2004, 05:14 AM

Great gallery, amonkie. Really beautiful. Reminds me of Canada. lol.

animosity · 11-15-2004, 05:25 AM

I have to stop looking at these. This is making me depressed.

wonderful pictures though.

hockeeguy19 · 11-30-2004, 12:10 AM

god i need to go there some day!!

martinguerre · 11-30-2004, 12:50 AM

nice stuff...the east shore ones are particuarly nice...i've got a thing for rocky coastline... sounds like there's a TFP field trip to visit. if so, i'm in!

radioguy · 12-05-2004, 02:29 AM

WOW!!! i can't say any more......

Rdr4evr · 12-05-2004, 02:36 AM

The beauty in these pictures is remarkable. That amazing blue water *drool*......what I wouldn't do to swim in that......hopefully in time.

mtnman323 · 12-14-2004, 11:16 PM

any view of hawaii is a great view. better there in person though!

jujueye · 12-15-2004, 02:14 PM

What a nice bunch of shots. Thanks for the post. I have been to Hawai'i many times and recognize a lot of the photos here. Hawai'i is easily my most favorite place on earth. There's just something about it that is indescribable. The greenery, the calm lifestyle, the people steeped in tradition. I would move there, but most of the locals dislike the Kama'aina (tourist) or people who move there from the mainland. *sigh* Guess I'll just have to visit often.

Cadwiz · 12-16-2004, 06:40 AM

This is a great shot of Kailua and the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station (the peninsula). I was there for about three years. Beautiful pictures.

bookiebye · 12-18-2004, 04:48 PM

Fantastic pics, cna't wait to go see it for myself.

outdoor · 12-23-2004, 03:47 PM

looks like fun, i wanna go back

cJoe · 05-31-2005, 04:03 PM

Really cool shots. Someday I suppose I'll make it there.

cellophanedeity · 05-31-2005, 05:50 PM

I will most definitely visit Hawaii one day. I promise.

*love*
