Here is a project I'm working on in my spare time, inspired by this thread on the ADVRider: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=758332. I have a book with old photos of Hawaii and I'm taking pictures of the same locations. I'd like to see some from your area too. First, the Kohala Mountain Road, then: ...and now. You can see the remains of the old road bed in the foreground:

The Sakamoto Store, 1950s Kohala:

Bank of Hawaii, 1950s Kapa'au Town

Kalahikiola Church ca.1912

Fantastic, Timo! Great work matching the angle and field of view!

Paul Dorpat once had a feature in the Sunday supplement in the Seattle paper, Then and Now, as you are doing. Some neat stuff--I was a fan. One winter, I was working for a certain brown package company and one of our deliveries wanted to tip his driver and helper (me). 'Twas Paul Dorpat, and he handed us each a book--a compilation of his Sunday features.

I thought it pretty cool as well Tim. I'm into what was.
Just a tick of the clock really.

Nice job Tim.

Thank you, guys. I'm always amazed at how much the trees have changed. I planted some cedars back in the early 1980s that are over 40' tall! All along the Hamakua coast, old sugar cane fields were planted with eucalyptus when Bill Clinton was President and are now being harvested for pulp...

Yeah, I noticed the trees missing from the front of the bank.
My bank just cut down three perfectly fine, mature trees. Really honked me off. There was no rot in any of the stumps.
Probably saving money on maintenance...

They need the pulp to print more money.
