This week’s Friendly Friday challenge theme is ‘Photo Walk.’ (See more responses here.) I thought of a few options, but my visit to Honolulu last year seemed to fit the bill. After I’d conducted my business there, I spent the rest of my time on a photo walk through downtown.
I’ve posted some photos from this walk before. To see them just scroll to the bottom of the page and click on ‘Honolulu’ in the tags.









This was something of a mixed blessing for the locals.
Great shots Graham and nice to get these glimpses of Honolulu. (I like the quirkiness of the Bo Beep sheepskin ads with bright yellow fire hydrant.)

That challenge topic gave me a good excuse to run some more of those photos. I liked the Bo Peep window too.

The buildings are amazing.

I was impressed with the variety and the contrast between old and new. I’m not really a city person anymore, but it was nice to visit.

These photos look decidedly like they are from
Honolulu – they have that look. The red brick building is my favorite, what a great shot toi, with the biker for proportion and also a bit of whimsy!

Yes, I like that photo too. The biker was a bit of luck. There were a lot of interesting old buildings in the city, more than I anticipated, so I had a good time wandering around for a few hours.

When we were there, we read in Lonely Planet that Chinatown had a bit of a bad rep. Would you say that’s still true?

To be honest, I have no idea. I wasn’t there long enough to explore and haven’t read anything about its current reputation. Don’t most Chinatowns have a slightly shady reputation?

I guess they do! Though in Paris Chinatown was purely for food, it’s reputation wasn’t bad as I remember. But that was 15 years ago, it might be different now. Actually I had lived in Paris for quite a while until I even heard there was a Chinatown!

Maybe the bad rep is mostly in movies!

What a lovely walk! I have been to Honolulu once but I don’t really have any recollection of it (I was so young). Except for the beach 🙂

Thanks. I enjoyed my short time there more than I thought I would. Didn’t make it to the beach though.
