The View from Pacific Heights

Pacific Heights is a neighborhood on Oahu just "up the mountain" from Downtown and Chinatown. I lived there for a year. The location was really convenient for commuting to work, even if the cottage I lived in was oddly situated on a street not designed for pedestrians. The best part of the little cottage, though, was the deck that had been built around two mango trees and provided an awesome view of Downtown and the ocean beyond.

On any given day, the sky would put on a glorious show over the city buildings. There were a few days in particular, though, that caught my attention. Below are a few of my favorites of these shots.

Enjoy!


I like this image because the glare from the sun on the ocean was so intense that the water looked white.


This view caught my attention because it was so monochromatic. I like the soft, dark grey.


And I like this image because of the shifts in the grey tones and the subtle pink on the clouds from the sunset.
