Fireworks

　　I went out for a walk. So many people waiting for the fireworks on the beach, I wanted to put myself in the lively space. A hula dancing show was being held over the live music at the poolside on the way. I expected a heavy crush and didn't bring my tripod, so all the shooting was done hand-held. The pictures were not so bad for hand-held shooting in the dark circumstances. I swam for ten minutes or so on the way home to cool myself. The last two pictures were shot from my condo. The beer time viewing this scenery was the ultimate happiness.

軽く呑んだ後、花火見物へ。部屋からも見えるのだが、喧噪が好きでわざわざ出かけた。と言っても徒歩５分。途中のプールサイドではフラダンスショー。三脚なしで雑踏からの撮影。画質が悪いのは仕方ない。生バンドの演奏を聴きながらプールで少し涼んで帰宅。夜景を眺めながらのビールはまた格別。

Thank you for your comment. I viewed the scenery from the lookout of Mt. Tantalus last year. It was a great view under the brilliant sky. I'm looking to visit Oahu again and maybe Molokai island next year.

I can almost feel the trade winds blowing now. I lived on Oahu for 4 years (1977 - 1981). I know the population has grown tremendously since then. The lookout area of Mt. Tantalus allows a panoramic view from Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor.

Anyway, you have some beautiful photos. The colors, especially the blues, were saturated nicely, and all the colors were vivid. Very nice.
