Hilo, Hawaii

We drove from Volcano today, to Hilo, Hawaii, which is on the east coast.  It's the only other city of some size on the big island of Hawaii.  This was the first thing I saw down on the main street, while looking out to the harbor.

As we drove around town, we started seeing a whole bunch of Banyan trees.  They are just amazing in their size and complexity! There is a road that goes by a park, with a divider in it, and Banyan trees are the only thing planted there.

We went to Rainbow Falls, and while wandering around there, saw this beauty of a Banyan.  The number of individual trunks just seems impossible to count.

And to top it all off, so to speak, here is perhaps the largest tree we saw, in a park in Hilo.  I did this shot while waiting at a red light, and it was only after I took the first photo that I noticed what appeared to be a homeless man sleeping on the grass in the foreground.
