Suntanned patrons at the patio bar of Halekulani Hotel’s House Without a Key restaurant enjoy stunning sunset views and a hula show on Oahu Island’s Waikiki Beach.
The swaying hips and undulating arm movements of a hula dancer imitate the waves that wash over Hawaii’s shores. Hula went underground for about 60 years in the early 19th century after Christian missionaries persuaded rulers to ban the provocative dance. It is enjoying a resurgence today.

Waikiki and the hula imitating undulating waves
This would not be one of my first choices for a photograph but it says a lot about people and places and shares with us a little bit of history which I found persuasively interesting.
How do you feel about this photograph?
