A L O H A From Honolulu!
The sun, the earth,
love, friends,
our very breath
are parts of the banquet.

The unique Occidental Life Insurance Building in Honolulu, designed by Lemmon, Freeth & Haines, circa 1951. It’s a beautifully constructed early 1950s low-rise office building made from natural stone, concrete, aluminum and angled glass. Not surprisingly, though, the real attraction is the 1967 addition of a cantilevered airport control-like tower – used as a boardroom – that really sets this building apart from its contemporaries.

moment of the year has
its own beauty, and in

every hour, a picture which
was never seen before,
and which shall never
be seen again.

An incredible start to your photos! Always enjoy, thank you Cloudia and Pixie :)
If I was in charge of a meeting in that room I would say no one over 200 pounds on the cantilever.
Yes! Thanks friends
That eagle is very impressive.
Hello Cloudia,
I love the beautiful rainbow and the pretty flower.
The Eagle is awesome, great shot.
Pixie is always a favorite!
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend!
Love the mural, Cloudia. And the Hill Folk philosophy.
The building is quite unusual.
I love the last quote...so perfect for people my age looking back. That rooster better hide though! lol
Great photos, interesting quotes!
I like the mural, too!
Have a blessed day!
Aloha Cloudia, Emerson rocks my world! Your opening photo, WOW! Incredible it's like an entrance! Really hope your weekend is spontaneous and wonderful. Love you!
Amazing rainbow, great pics.
Happy Weekend :)
Each of you is valued and loved here
Rainbows and a chicken with an eagle and Pixie on the lookout in hunting mode!! Glorious post!
Thanks Honey
That is an interesting building!
Your eagle is magnificent.
Hello Cloudia, :=) The rainbow is special, all rainbows are, but not all have such a wide arc.
Lovely Hibiscus flower, and great eagle and Rooster pictures. I like the added tower to the Building. Pixie is as beautiful as ever, her coat is always so shiny. The Hillfolk Quote is one that stood out to me, and in my mid-eighties I do have lots of lovely memories to look back on.
Good wishes to you and Pixie :=)
I always enjoy seeing an eagle and even a chicken
Oh wow! That is a very colorful rooster!
The Occidental Life Insurance Building immediately caught my eye. The cantilever is wonderful. Of course, so is Pixie.
That is a very unique and unusual mural. I like it a LOT!
Wow that eagle is so majestic. And of course, a favorite of mine ...kitty!!!
Sorry for my late visit. A computer glitch yesterday! Thanks for sharing & linking in.
Cute mural. That rooster is very colourful and Pixie is looking cute too.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Cloudia
