The following 2 photos were taken in Holualoa Village, 10 minutes upcountry from Kailua-Kona on the slopes of Mount Hualalai. This is the semi-famous Kona Hotel, which has quite an interesting history.

The original statue of King Kamehameha in Kapa'au, thought to have been lost at sea but later recovered, followed by a shot of the main street. I love this town and little Hawi, both in North Kohala.
Pu'ukohala Temple, built by King Kamehameha in 1790. Located in South Kohala overlooking the Maui Straits, it has been partially restored and is used for rituals. Tourists are asked to respect it as a holy place and stay out. Pu'ukohala means "Whale Hill", and this is indeed a great area for spotting whales.
