The Windward Temple - a photo on Flickriver

            A return to one of my favorite spots on the windward side of the Hawaiian island of O‘ahu:  the Byodo-In Temple. Built in 1968, it is a half-size replica of the original temple of the same name, near Kyoto, Japan.  The dramatic setting, with the backdrop of the Ko‘olau Mountains, and the frequent swirling clouds produced by the topography and weather patterns of the windward side, make this a must-visit whenever I'm on that side of the island.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend in some of your favorite spots, wherever they might be.
