Looking towards to Lagoon what is part of the Hilton Hawaiian Village and is free for anyone to use.
The building in the centre was where we had our condo (we were on the other side of the middle tower overlooking the yacht harbour). It is the Ilikai building built in 1964, the the first luxury high rise hotel in Hawaii. It gained some fame by appearing in the opening sequence of the original Hawaii Five-O TV series with the camera zooming in on Jack Lord standing on the penthouse balcony.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Very nice photo with those high rise buildings, the lagoon and the shadow on the sand all together make this a wonderful image Lyn.

Stunning capture, your composition is perfect, the details and colors make this almost as good as being there, but, actually I would prefer to be there. :)

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

With a cool drink in my hand, wouldn't have any problem to stay there for a while, Lyn.
Sharp and clear image!

This lagoon must be popular with those folks who don't feel comfortable at the beach... no surf, no rip tide, no critters. While body surfing back in the early 70's, in the surf of the beach at Oxnard, California, I jumped too late one time and the wave crest hit me in the shoulders. All I could see was millions of tiny bubbles as I pinwheeled, arms above my head, and I remember my hands sliding through sand... the only way I could tell I was upside down. No danger of that happening here.
