Diamond Head

" The less open-minded 
someone is, 
the more open-mouthed 
they tend to be. "

Diamond Head Crater, Kapiolani Park

" We have 

just enough religion 

to make us hate, 

but not enough 

to make us love 

one another. "

                      Jonathan Swift

These surfers are

 walking along Diamond Head Road. 

The cliffs are 

the seaward edge of the crater.

It's ALL Diamond Head.

Diamond Head Light House is the residence of Rear Admiral Cari B. Thomas, commander, Fourteenth Coast Guard District, whose area of responsibility spans over 12.2 million square miles encompassing the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Saipan, Singapore and even Japan. 

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

A Semi-private beach,

plenty of shade,

I LOVE THIS!

" Purity and simplicity 
are the two wings 
with which to soar 
above the earth 
and all
temporary nature. "
