Photographed from an upper floor of a Waikiki high-rise, this view looks inland across Honolulu to the green foothills of the Koolau Range. Several concrete towers stand unfinished in the middle distance, one served by a tower crane, while low-rise apartment blocks, single houses beneath coconut palms, an open playing field and a fresh construction site occupy the foreground. The image documents the Honolulu building boom of the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the city's low-rise fabric was rapidly replaced by high-rise concrete. Filed with Vietnam-era aviation material, it belongs to a run of civilian travel slides; Hawaii was the principal leave and transit point for American personnel moving to and from Southeast Asia.
