Fri. Nov. 20 Sunrise at Waikiki


Early Friday morning about 6:30 we were ready for some exercise so both Helmut and I went for a walk along the beach park in Waikiki. The sun rose while we were out walking. The east is behind the sky scrapers of Waikiki and Honolulu so you don't see too much. Pretty good shot of the reflection across the bay off of another high-rise.

A fellow was sitting on a pier side and feeding the birds that would just come and sit on his hand and eat out of his palm. Helmut also noticed many colorful fish in the ocean at this place but the pictures didn't turn out so good.




This s a very nice looking Banyan tree in the park.













A nice man-made water fall.

Lovely pictures. Tell me about the Banyan tree. Does it have several trunks like a cypress? Does it have sphagnum moss hanging down from it. Does it keep its leaves all year around? Very interesting.

Pat, I really don't know the answers to your questions. The banyan tree appears to have airiel roots that come off the branches in find their way back into the ground giving the appearance of more than one trunk. You can "Google" it and try to learn more.

Many details about the banyan on google - it is a relative of the fig.
