The word "Aloha," dedicated four column inches in LORIN ANDREWS' foundational 1865 'Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language,’ and meaning; "to love, to regard with affection," and also expressing feelings of "love, affection, gratitude, kindness, pity, compassion, grief," as well as being "the modern common salutation at greeting and departing," is displayed at the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. HONOLULU, HAWAII 08/13/22
Derelict hotel buildings in Hilo are emblematic of the boom and bust cycle of tourism in Hawaii made evident by to the Coronavirus pandemic. Today the state is struggling to redefine tourism as something other than the historically exploitive, extractive enterprise that has residents fuming about tourist hordes and the influx of tourists into residential districts created by the popularity of services like AirB&B. HILO, HAWAII 06/16/22
A rainbow forms over Nanakuli Valley on Oahu. Research published at the end of 2022 by University of Hawaii scientists indicates that globally, incidents of rainbow formation are likely to increase, especially in northern latitudes and at very high elevations previously accustomed to snowfall. Hawaii, dubbed "the rainbow capital of the world,” is likely to see a few more rainbow days by 2100 even as those days will follow a change of historical rainfall patterns which will reflect longer, drier summers and a significant decline of rainfall over the last thirty years as rains become increasingly concentrated in individual storm systems—much of that rainwater lost to runoff rather than captured in the state's aquifers. PALEHUA, HAWAII 10/29/22
A fence divides a conservation area from private property at Kahuku Point, Oahu. Active conservation districts throughout Hawaii are increasingly impacted by untended private property acting as reservoirs of non-native and invasive species threatening efforts to return land to conditions of endemic and native vegetation and in some cases endangering watersheds by harboring destructive invasives such as miconia calvescens. Known variously as the "green cancer of the Pacific" Devil's_Scourge" and the "Purple plague" for its ability to overwhelm locations where it becomes established creating miconia monocultures which promote erosion and threaten watersheds. KAHUKU, HAWAII 05/30/22
Hikers pass the ruins of a fortified observation post dating to World War II used to triangulate coordinates for artillery firing and scan for Japanese naval action off the west coast of Oahu. NANAKULI, HAWAII 10/29/22
A modernist public bath at Wailupe Beach Park. Post-War Honolulu was an important draw for modernist architects, VLADIMIR OSSIPOFF most well-known among them for creating and embodying the style that became known as "Hawaiian Modern" or "tropical Modern." Predicated on building without air-conditioning and embracing building siting to take advantage of mild temperatures and near-constant trade winds, the style is represented in even lowly municipal facilities buildings.
