What a gorgeous sky at Honolulu’s Ala Wai Yacht Harbor! Today’s photo comes to us from Dave in Oahu. Dave writes, “Here is a recent picture of the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor near the Hilton Hawaiian Village. The sunset was so bright that I had to pull the car over and take a picture.” Mahalo to Dave for sharing another one of his excellent iPhone photos with us.
