Buddhist Temples, Honomu, HI
Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm
We were on our way to see Akaka Falls near Hilo, Hawaii. This little town called Honomu was on the way to the falls so we stopped for a look. It was a beautiful, warm, and crisp day and there was a feeling of peace in the air. The main drag of the town is only a block long and there were few people around. Where did everyone go?
I later found out that the town was once the hub of a very busy sugar industry on the Big Island, but is now just a sleepy town of just 541 residents. It was interesting to see these two Buddhist temples just a half block from each other, but I suppose they used to serve a much larger population. I found the architecture of the temples to be very interesting.
By the way, July 4th is coming up in a couple of days. Why don't we go out that day to shoot some patriotic themed pictures and post them here?

How interesting. I was expecting some traditional designs. These are like a combo of old American design and old temple design. I've never seen anything like these.
