{ B } - Bank of the Orient
Bank of the Orient isn't exactly native to the islands since it was started in California, but the building it resides in, Dillingham Transportation Building, is what I found most appealing in this photo. This is located on Bishop Street in downtown, Honolulu.Influenced by Italian/Spanish architecture, the beautifully designed and sculpted marble and brick construction was completed in 1929. There is no transportation service of any kind in this building, but the Dillingham ohana was heavily involved in the transportation business, and hence the derivation for the name. I believe that face sculpture above the door entrance is a replica of Benjamin Franklin Dillingham, founder of Oahu Railway & Land Co. - I may be wrong about this =P
Other "B" places worth mentioning - Bishop Museum, Blaisdell Concert Hall, Bernice Pau'ahi Bishop

Good one for "B"...I was thinking babies, beaches, bowling. The colors in your photo are so purple-y - I like it! About graduate programs in SD check out their websites (I put links to each in each post). Each uni has different things to offer...so it depends on your field of study. Good luck!
Kala, I see more of this Island from your wonderful blog, then I do in PERSON!!! so glad your here :)
The bicycle looks a little forlorn. The varied tones in the photo are attractive.
I like your photography. This photo has a quality about it not found in others. It and your story makes a marvelous post.
Lovely brick colours. What is the bike for?
