State Capitol Walkabout - 5/31/2012

After picking up the photos from the State Library, I still had money leftover in the meter..so I decided I would make the most of my 50 cents I spent on parking...HA!  First, I found the Korean and Vietnam Memorial that I've never seen before...how did I miss this in my previous photo walks? 

I found this tunnel thing that I have no idea where it goes and there were no signs.. hmm..  I didn't feel like going down the stairs to find out.

Last time I visited the state capitol, this mural was still being repaired.. it is now back to its original state.

I wanted to go across the street to take a closer look at the Eternal Flam Memorial, but I figured I had only 50 cents in the meter..:-(    I'm ashamed to say that I had to google to find out that this is to commemorate the Pearl Harbor attack.

Honolulu Hale in the reflecting pond..

Queen Liliuokalani Statue looking as if she is reflecting on the "State" of the Hawaii seal..

Walking back to my car I never realized that the back of the Iolani Palace looks exactly lie the front of the palace.

I shot this w/ the max zoom (cropped) from the parking lot of Iolani Palace.. pretty good for a Lumix..The money in my meter had run out by the time I got back to my car and it was a great 20+ minutes well spent....
