The Korean TempleThe top peak was above city regulations
and neighbors demanded that it be "trimmed."
See the flat place?

avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride;
if these were to be banished,
we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace."

and then returning home,
wondering why the hell you went."

I go because it leaves me wondering why there is a flat roof in a place where all the others are peaked.
Oh, there is a Korean temple there, interesting.
its really great.
How interesting.... aloha and thank you !
Aloha for the trip! Haven't seen that side. Golly gee -- poor temple with a crew cut, and I'm sure a couple of hotels need a trim, too. Hawaii does better placing homes into the side of hills than the mainland. The rains must be channeled to keep from uprooting the dollhouse buildings, eh? I wanna rent one. DrumMajor
If I rest I rust as well, my frined!
How charming!
Aloha!!!!!!!!!!
Big hugs,

If I rest my knees lock up, at my age :) aloha!
Everything round these parts are beautiful...Thanks...:-)
My first husband's last name was Petrarca, a distant offspring of Petrarch, the Italian poet. That's all I got today!
I try to drive as little as possible. I'm not one to go away from home just for the sake of it. I know that real life lies inside, not out there.
I don't know which I enjoy more on your blog -- the quotes or the pictures. Both I think. :-)
And yes, my favorite part of the journey is coming home -- except when I went to Hawaii, of course...!

Relaxing photo.
They made them make the temple roof flat???? Oh well! Love the Placido Domingo quote, If I rest I rust. That spoke to me today ;) I feel like I am rusting, creaking at least. Have a good one Cloudia.

Interesting post today Cloudia, thankyou. :)
As always you find the perfect quotes for each glorious photo .. I know, I say that all the time .. but its true!
Well, it is interesting when you can no longer drive anywhere. Redefining life!
Always a fine marriage of images and quotes. Steven Wright always cracks me up.
Thanks, Friends!
