BIG ISLAND HAWAII BANYAN TREE photo picture art - Big Island Hawaii, Hilo Hawaii Banyan Tree picture photo art -
This photo was taken on Bayan drive in the town of Hilo, which is on the Eastern side (windward side) of The Big Island of Hawaii. This photo is of a giant beautiful Banyon Tree on the Rain Forest Tropical side of The Big Island of Hawaii, near Hilo Bay. It is not just a magnificent tree, but an historic Banyan Tree at that! In between the 1920's through about the 1940's Banyan Trees were planted along the loop of road that goes around a large park on Banyan Drive in Hilo on The Big Island by movie stars, dignitaries, famous authors, miliatry commanders and celebrities of note. This particular tree, which has a small wooden plaque in front of it, notes that this tree was actually planted by noted aviatrix Amelia Earhart, on January 6, 1935. Amelia Earhart had several strong ties with Hawaii and The Pacific. Just five days after Earhart planted this Banyan Tree in Hilo, she flew her plane out of Honolulu (on January 11, 1935), landing in California, becoming the first person to fly solo across the Pacific Ocean on that flight. Her attempt to fly around the world in 1937 ended with her mysterious disappearance over the Pacific Ocean, on the last leg of her historic flight. The photo of The Banyan Tree that Amelia Earhart planted here in Hilo seventy years ago is a wonderful photo memorializing a true American pioneer.

The quality of the Jan Kaulins' photographic prints is much higher than we can show within limits of this web site. Slight tonal changes and blurring around the areas of strong contrast are a result of the JPEG compression process, and are not part of the high quality originals.
