Pioneer Inn, Lahaina

This is a vacation shot I took in December 2012 when my wife and I spent Christmas in Hawaii. I came across it today when I was doing a little housekeeping on my computer and opened up a forgotten folder. It isn't a particularly striking image but the reason I am posting it in my archives folder is because it shows the historic 122 year old Pioneer Inn situated in Lahaina, Maui. Tragically, this and many other historic buildings were completely destroyed by the horrific wildfire that tore through Lahaina in August of this year. It also took the lives of around 100 people. So sad.

That looks very breezy! Sad tale though.

A great capture of this Inn. So many lives lost in this fire.

Tragic fire but a good reminder of all the good time spent there before that happened.

A memory than can't be revisited.

So much was lost in those fires. Very sad.

It's great to find "lost" photos, but this one has such a sad footnote. That was such a tragic fire.

Nice capture
