Big Island of Hawaii

Pictures from the Big Island of Hawaii the southermost of the major islands.
Hilo, an old town on the East side of the Big Island of Hawaii is one of the wettest cities in the USA. (About 125 inches per year.)
Hilo grew to prominence not only because of it wonderful harbor facilities
but it also became the crossroads between the small towns along the Hamakua coast and the volcano side.
Other small towns like Onomea, Waimea, Hawi, Honomu, and Keaau abound.

Hi, Selvin. Revisiting your splendid Big Island gallery before my Big Island visit in Sept. I wonder if there's a photo op not covered already! You've reminded me of several of my favorites which will go on the "must see" list. Thanks for your prolific coverage of my favorite island! Emma Louise

The photos gave me "chicken skin" and made me remember fondly the four years I spent with my family in Hilo. Beautiful work. No ka Oi. Alohas

Fabulous photos, the plants and flowers, the old buildings, the moon-set, the hapu'u, the little slug...great stuff. I'm glad you're documenting the buildings especially, it's only a matter of time before someone decides Hilo needs a condo or two. I hope they have a Historic Preservation organization. EG

Absolutely wonderful photos in this gallery, in fact all of your galleries. Really beautiful part of the world you live in. Chris.

Selvin, what a wonderful collection of Big Island photos! I was thinking about the farmer's market in Hilo just this morning and then found your gallery. Thank you for reviving pleasant memories of my 10 years on the "Hilo side"! I hope you tried the malasadas when you were at Tex Drive In! Sorry to hear the fish auction is over. I'll treasure my tape of "Black Widow" that has a great scene of the auction action. Emma

Your photos are beautifully composed and really a joy to look at. I also have an Olympus c730-uz, which I love. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my gallery and for pointing me to yours. Nancy

Thank you for sharing you BEAUTIFUL pictures of the Big Island. My grandparents lived that and seeing all of your pics brought back some wonderful memories of the last time I was there. You even have a pic of the theater I went to the last time I visited. Much Aloha to you and yours Cyndi queenofegypt64@yahoo.com

Hi Selvin, I enjoyed going through your gallery on Big Island. Never made it there because Oahu has so much and time there is always too short. Thx for sharing. I like the blue trumpeteer best. Regards/Anna
