Hawaii Photo of the Day
A L O H A !
Lobby Mural
Castle Hospital, Oahu
by Bob Flint, 1997
I like the multi-generational,
multi-ethnic/cultural mix of folks
in this mural. The local
Ko`olau Mountains are
a familiar backdrop.
This image says a lot about our
family-centered lifestyle
on this "country" side of
the island.
It says:
"Aloha. We local too.
No worry, eh?"
