It's ALL Diamond Head.

DH Light has been District commander's home since 1944.
"The Diamond Head Lighthouse has guided mariners to Honolulu for more than a hundred years. The original structure was erected in 1899 and the original ironwork of the watchroom and lantern are still in use. The 55-ft. tower we see today was built in 1917 and is constructed of reinforced concrete. The lighthouse can be seen as far away as 18 miles and the light shows a red sector to warn vessels away from the reefs of Waikīkī Beach." Link
"The Revenue Cutter [US Coast Guard] Lawrence sailed into Honolulu Harbor Sept. 4, 1849, escorted by Native Hawaiians in outrigger canoes. This marked the beginning of the U. S. Coast Guard presence in the Pacific. For the next 90 years, cutters from the West Coast routinely plied Hawaii’s waters on patrols. In 1939, the Fourteenth Coast Guard District was established ashore in Honolulu with 230 personnel. Link

Beautiful photos especially of the light houses.
Your first quote, so true. Your photos rock, especially that semi-private beach. It's so inviting.
Thanks dear pals <3
Wonderful photos and quotes. Made my day and I hope you are having a wonderful one.
I like the swift quote
I adore your sea and skies. I'm so disturbed with religion. And people who hurt animals in stupidity... sigh.
Lovely vistas, as ever.

We haven't seen the sun for a while.
love the blues of the views!
Great
That first quote is so true! And I love the lighthouse!
At time like this...i totally agree with "We have
just enough religion
to make us hate,
but not enough
to make us love
one another. "
Just saw news in FB that a group asked a church to take down the Cross from the church building :(
Stunning place to live.
Thanks for sharing your beach and coastline!
The monkey seals look impressive!
Thanks for the American word: gas for fun.
Wil, ABCW
Jonathan Swift definitely got that one right.
