Before and After
This photo was taken around 1890 on the sands of Waikiki from the Baker Van-Dyke collection. Do you remember which picture I posted earlier resembles this location?
No, I do not remember. I do remember what the beach was like when I was first there in 1953 and it was almost identical to this. From here you could see Diamond Head like you can in this photo. That pier wasn't there then.
Behind me at some distance was what we called the "White Elephant" which was a huge hotel on the beach. Across the street to the left, was a few hotels about 4 stories tall.

It wasn't much different.

Your hiking photos tell really, what does hiking mean. Adorable !
Greetings from our summer in Finland!
man, it JUST DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THIS ANYMORE!! It's missing about 200 surfers, and 500 or so swimmers :)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember or perhaps I missed it but this is beautiful. How wonderful to see how it was. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember, but the silhouette of Diamond Head looks pretty much the same...
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Glad you sent us back to your May 8th post. Everything falls into place nicely!
ReplyDeletei love old photos like this. At times when I am on a flea-market I buy old photos.
