Show me your pics of exotic places!

[AUguy]

I have done a bit of traveling in my day, but about 7 months ago my travel plans got put on hold for about 18 years so now I have to do my traveling through others. So lets see some pics you took of far away lands. Here are a few of mine to start things off.

Me at Jerusalem Day 2008. I'm not Jewish, I just showed up for the party.

BUT, I have some pics from Hawaii:


http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/ronman_2007/Hawaii%202010/P1010563.jpg

View from the balcony of the condo, on the north shore of Oahu.


http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/ronman_2007/Hawaii%202010/P1010569.jpg

View from other side of condo. I stayed in the town of Punalu'u.


http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/ronman_2007/Hawaii%202010/P1010580.jpg

Harp seal lying on the beach. No, it's not dead! It picked up its head and looked at me when I got a little too close.

Papohaku Beach Park, on the west end of the island of Moloka'i.


http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/ronman_2007/Hawaii%202010/P1010662.jpg

Kalaupapa Peninsula on Moloka'i, where the leper colony managed by Father Damian was established in the 19th century. This overlook was from 1500 feet above sea level.


http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/ronman_2007/Hawaii%202010/P1010668.jpg

Some really high sea cliffs...they get even higher further east...in fact the highest sea cliffs in the world are on Molokai'i, Hawai'i.


http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/ronman_2007/Hawaii%202010/P1010699.jpg

The island of Lanai.

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/ronman_2007/Hawaii%202010/P1010711.jpg

State Hwy. 450 on Molokai. This road goes along some really scary, twisty terrain right along the ocean, as it goes up into the higher country. Notice the lack of a guard rail along the ocean side? It got really hairy once the road veered away from the ocean, and I had to get back to the airport so I turned back...
