I think I sold the one on the water in the last frame a few years ago… 😉 (But seriously, it does look like the mauna lani talk story shack).

Very cool! One thing that comes to mind when I see these historical buildings is how little vegetation there was at the time. When you visit these sites now, they have tons of full-grown tropical trees, vegetation, etc. These pics can be an example of how a more sparce region, (like lava fields), can fill in and be lush with vegetation! With a little water, TLC and the abundant sunshine of Hawaii, you don’t have to wait for history to pass before realizing tropical beauty!
