Four stories high, this mural arrests the unwary eye as it passes down Houghtailing Street, nearing Nimitz Avenue.

I haven’t been to this part of Honolulu in many years, so this was definitely a new image for me. Also, this industrial part of town has undergone many changes, and felt unfamiliar, as my kids and I cruised down the street, searching for a seafood restaurant where the rest of the clan had gone to, for a late lunch.

It was overcast and rainy, and so colors were quite saturated. As the road curved and the mural appeared, its sudden hyper-realism caused me to step on the brakes a tad too sharply but, thankfully, there was no one immediately behind. We pulled over onto an empty parking lot, and snapped a couple of pictures, the three of us vying to see which one could do the best job.

As usual, I won. ;-)
