Your Thursday Boring Postcard from Michael5000



FAMOUS BANYAN TREE ...at historic Lahaina, Maui, Hawaiian Islands.  Planted in 1873 by W.O. Smith, it has spread over a full acre and shades most of the entire town square adjacent to the picturesque harbor and courthouse.


Provenance: Unknown.

Been there! Like you care.

Sorry! NOT boring! Banyan trees are amazing and thrilling sights. I haven't seen THIS particular tree, but I recognized the banyan before I scrolled even below the leaf canopy on the postcard.

Dug, was it as magical as Elaine says? And does the postcard recapture the magic for you?

Elaine said...

Would I mislead you?

And how about that perigee moon??

Dug said...

It was really, really shady. The postcard missed that aspect.

Now that I'm looking at it on a computer instead of a tiny cell phone screen it does look kinda shady - and magical!
