Honolulu Panorama Mania
 

A few choice views of this urban oasis in the middle of the Pacific - some of them, particularly the last one, are absolutely enormous.

View north of downtown Honolulu from the Aloha Tower. I'm working on the 15th floor of the white twin building at left.

View north of the main hotel row on Waikiki beach from out at sea. Imposing view of the Koolau mountains from that angle. The Trump hotel under construction has since been completed.

Dusk view of several Honolulu neighborhoods from Tantalus Dr with Waikiki and Ala Moana skylines framing the city. From L to R can see University of Hawai'i campus, Kaimuki district, Mo'ili'ili and McCully neighborhoods. Manoa valley suburb in immediate foreground.

Massive panorama of nearly the entire city from Diamond Head/Waikiki to Ala Moana to Downtown to the HNL airport/Kalihi industrial area and US Navy yards beyond. Small cluster of midrises right of the airport is the Salt Lake district. Can even make out some of the distant suburbs on the Ewa side of the island behind the airport.

Good god how on earth did this thread not get any replies??? Great work :worship: Serious density in da house island style.

I don't remember this thread. But it is fantastic.

I loved seeing the reef runway in one of the panoramas. That's my favorite runway to land or take off on.

Nice job, but that last photo is just amazing. I'll be there next week!

Six years ago this week i was there, although mostly in the Hilo area. But I got to see Honolulu on a beautiful day.

mountains, beaches, and the city, what else could you want.
