Hawaii, Day 69 - Punchbowl and Haleiwa
Hawaii, Day 69
Donna, Isaac, and I went to Punchbowl National Cemetery, which is the Pacific equivalent of Arlington Cemetery. In order to be laid to rest in Punchbowl you (or an immediate family member) must have served in the Pacific theatre during World War I, World War II, or Vietnam. The memorial stands at the rear of the cemetery, and is flanked by walls that list the names and home states of the men and women who lost their lives fighting in the Pacific. There is also a memorial for the missing at sea and the unidentified lost at sea. An overlook on the ridge of the bowl gives a fantastic shot of downtown Honolulu and Waikiki as well as out over the water.
Later that night we met Justin at Haleiwa for dinner, and I had the chance to do some photography while we were waiting for a table. The marina at dusk was a very beautiful sight, as well as the marina walls being covered in small black crabs. We were about to leave when Isaac spotted the ray, so I stayed to get some shots of it before dinner.
