[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 09/2005 - USA - Hawaii - "Pot of Gold" in the island of Maui

"Pot of gold". This is a picture I took on my way to the airport after a day's visit of the Maui Island in the state of Hawaii.

Also, one of my favourites in Maui. While walking around the city centre, I saw this giant banyan tree. The World famous Banyan Tree in the center of Lahaina which was brought to Maui from India when  the tree was just eight feet tall!! Look at it now. And it is not easy to photograph the entire tree! I tried my best and I love the result.

[Traveler's Journal] - Bushwalking and Hiking - 08/2017 - Australia - Sydney NSW - Hiking - Walk Path

Today was cloudy and a little bit windy, so it was just me and my 'birdy' friends. They seem to be so used to see me walking that they no longer fly away. LOL!

[Traveler's Journal] - Bushwalking and Hiking - 08/2017 - Australia - Sydney NSW - Hiking - Walk Path #1

Everyday I go for a walk for an hour and I have sort of established a 'walk path' in my routine. It takes me about 50-56 minutes to complete and I would say about 6kms long.
I stopped walking for about a month and now am back to my walking routine.
