Description
This is the Honolulu Harbor within a foggy golden sunset. Honolulu Harbor is administered by the Hawaiʻi State Department of Transportation Harbors Division. Honolulu Harbor handles over 11 million tons of cargo annually. The services that the harbor provides are crucial as Hawaiʻi imports over eighty percent of its required goods.
An unusually foggy day and the sunset created this golden picture, when I took this photograph overlooking the harbor and downtown Honolulu. I took this photo just as the cruise ship docked, and the tallest building you see is the famous Aloha Tower. On September 11, 1926, after five years of construction, the world-famous Aloha Tower was officially dedicated at Pier 9 off Honolulu Harbor. The tallest building in Hawaiʻi at that time, the ten story tall Aloha Tower...became a guiding beacon, welcoming vessels to Honolulu. And for four decades the Aloha Tower was the tallest structure in Hawaii.

Thanks Cheri. That photograph was taken from my apartment on the 27th floor overlooking downtown Honolulu and the harbor. It was an interesting view with the foggy atmosphere at sunset creating a look I had never seen in Hawaii before. And I've lived here all my life!
