Today’s Aloha Friday photo comes to us from Charles Jordan. You may recall that Charles shared his photos of Oahu from the air with an aerial shot of Hanauma Bay. He followed up that photo by sharing this photo of beautiful Hanauma Bay from the ground. Mahalo to Charles for sharing his photo of one of his favorite places.

Hanauma Bay still rocks! Mahalo for the gr8 photo. One of my slippers once broke when down there & I had to walk all the way up with just one slipper on the hot asphalt. Thank goodness I was young then…

I keep kicking myself. I live 5 minutes away, but never get down there. This looks too beautiful to pass up. Mahalo!
