Aloha Suckers

In a classic original Hawaii 5-O episode, McGarrett poses as a pilot.  He boards a plane full of people who just committed a massive traveler check scam.  To the surprise of the passengers, he informs them that the plane is surrounded by HPD- there will be no escape.  Instead of the 5 hour flight to the mainland they will likely get "5-10 years" in the big house.  And he signs off in a cool-as-ice voice saying: "Aloha...   Aloha Suckers."  

Why I am  writing about this?  I just thought it was a cool way to end the episode.  And to tell you there is an abundance of Aloha to be found in Oahu.

One of my favorite things to do at any beach... watch kids navigate the shore break!

I worked really hard to get this one using a long exposure.  It was fully dark when I took it.  I was really surprised to see so much color. 

That's raindrops on the lens not dust.  

Darn building in the way.
