On my Diamond Head walks I always pass by my old school Kaimuki Intermediate which not only has changed its name to “Kaimuki Middle School” but judging by the words adorning the library, alumni no longer call themselves “Pioneers” but call themselves ‘Voyagers” nowadays….Lots of other changes since I was a lad, with new structures, new sun-shielding coverings and big new gymnasium! But the place still looks grassy and sunny and, attached to Leahi Field, makes for a pleasant walk!
Seems I wasn't the ONLY one who thought it was a picturesque place to shoot some photos, when I saw that the area out front where parents dropped their kids off in the morning:
...made an appearance in a photobook for Japanese actress /gravure model Yuno Ohara when she came to Hawaii! I was Skimming through scans of Yuno's shashinshuu when I saw this picture and recognized it as the very same sidewalk that I take my afternoon walks! “HEY, I'd know that Middle School fence anywhere!!"
This street is actually pretty popular for Japan Idol photo shoots as a few were taken for some other models witup he hill!
