This picture was taken in August of 2009 from the Sheraton Waikiki on the evening before Hurricane Felicia was expected to hit the islands.
Update June 2, 2011: This photo was submitted as part of Budget Traveler’s Sandbox Travel Photo Thursday.
Great shot! I haven’t been to Waikiki in about 8 years…. I want to go back 🙂
I usually want to go back after 8 days!
I’m going to Hawaii next week! Hopefully there will be no hurricanes… 🙂
So lucky! Expecting loads of photos and stories! Have a great trip! Oh, and sorry for the delayed approve. I saved your comment out of the Spam folder.
Looks like another night in paradise. How did it look the next day?
Actually the hurricane ended up being a bit of a bust. The biggest threat ended up being getting sand in your eye. I was hoping to see a little wild weather, but the winds only ever got to the slightly uncomfortable level. Probably for the best, though!
Beautiful sky and lights — nicely done!
Beautiful photo 🙂
Very nice. I live on the West Coast and have yet to make it to Hawaii. Shame on me!
It’s so peaceful looking, especially the sky. Hard to imagine that a hurricane is on its way.
