Covered Pier and Crescent Beach Beneath Cloud-Draped Ridges, Probably Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Date Unknown

A long timber pier with a covered pavilion reaches into a sheltered tropical bay, backed by a crescent beach, palm and ironwood trees, and a wall of cloud-draped, waterfall-streaked ridges. The pier form and mountain profile identify this as Hanalei Bay on the north shore of Kauai, Hawaii. Filed among Vietnam-era material, this and adjacent frames record leave or transit through the Pacific rather than service in country, a common presence in veterans' slide collections. Project: 219827
