South Pacific

*

South Pacific

well here I am

walking on the sands

of Hanalei Bay

Kauai, Hawaii

which is where the movie

South Pacific was filmed-

even though it is not really 

the South pacific,

more like the middle Pacific

but that wouldn't make 

as a good a title... 

That little peak

in the background

is Bali Hai

whereas in the musical and movie

the mythical island 

upon which the story took place

was called Bali Hai

from the Hanalei pier

looking across the bay

lying on the water

is Puff the Magic Dragon

the front lower ridge

is the dragon's neck

the red patch his eye socket

and when the on shore winds blow

the surf sends up spray

that appears like 

Puff's steaming nostrils

(click to enlarge -
I have left the pics
at full resolution)

and on this expansive lawn

with 180 degree views of the bay

in this most special of islands

my son #1 will marry his love

tomorrow

Oh Happy days
