Hula Dancer on the Beach Travel Poster Art by Carl Scott Harker
Hawaii is such a beautiful place to visit. And if you get a chance, go today. With climate changes, of course, who knows how many of The Islands might sink beneath the sea in the near future. And the way the Pacific Rim of Fire is acting up, volcanoes are another concern with lava spewing everywhere. Actually, I kid Hawaii…
Here is an example of Travel Poster art I created to celebrate the beauty of Hawaii:

In case my travel poster didn’t convince you to take a vacation in Hawaii, here are few more reason to visit:
Hawaii is a dream destination for many, and here’s why it might be perfect for your next vacation:
Hawaii is a scattered land of stunning natural beauty: There you can tread carefully through the volcanic landscapes with lava but a few feet beneath your feet. Or you can get pretend lost in the lush rain forests of Kauai. And on another day, you can sun your self on the pristine beaches of Maui. This is just a taste of Hawaii’s breathtaking scenery.
For the history and culture buffs, come and find out about the dreaming history of the original Hawaiians. Learn about the Polynesian culture brought to the Islands by Tahitian migrations more than 500 years before Hawaii’s “discovery” by Captain Cook. Pig out on traditional Hawaiian luaus, try doing the Hula and for more modern history, visit Pearl Harbor and the US Navy Shipyards.
With warm temperatures year round, outdoor aficionados will want to hone their surfing skill by shredding Hawaii’s great waves. Or maybe hiking to hidden waterfalls is more your desire. And then there is the underwater adventures of snorkling the coral reefs to enjoy, where you can spot sea turtles and colorful tropical fish.
For the luxury minded, there are luxury resorts, soothing spas, and serene beach side retreats, to indulge in.
And this is all capped by a friendly aloha spirit, the warmth and hospitality that welcomes visitors from those who are lucky enough to live in Hawaii year round.
News About Hawaii Vacations
Old Lovers in Hawaii If I could dance and twist my hips, I’d be barefoot on the beach waving my hands in a rhythm of symbolic gestures, lei festooned and wearing patterned shirts in Hawaii.
If I could keep my feet on a board, I’d be shredding the Big Waves that curl off the beaches of Maui, or wiping out, in Hawaii.
If I was still child-like enough to climb a tree, I would bring you fresh coconut milk from the palms that dot the shorelines in Hawaii.
But the years have worn out my cells, just as gravity has bent my bones, and content am I to rest, next to you, on a lounger, umbrella shaded from dazzling suns, blazing the blue skies above the beaches in Hawaii.
It is enough to sip my daylong Mai Tais watching the younger women and men – the goddesses and gods of this tropical Olympus, cavort in the blue Pacific waters and play volleyball on the golden sanded strips in Hawaii.
We keep the nights, with its observatory’s wealth of starlight for ourselves – hands held, hungry hugs, vibrant talks, drinks from the fountains of food, knowing paradise is wherever we are which right now is in Hawaii.

Art History: Calendar Girls Nov 30th, 2024 by Aldouspi
Calendar Girls Pinups is a phrase commonly associated with the beautiful style of art and photography featuring glamorous, playful, and often slightly risqué images of women. Historically popularized in the mid-20th century, they have never gone out of popular demand. These pinup images were used in calendars, posters, and other forms of mass media, blending artistic allure with accessible charm.

News About Calendar Girls
Calendar Pinup Girls I recall the days when calendars of pinup girls were casually displayed in auto repair shops, back offices, locker rooms and warehouses, each month featured a new, glamorous example of nude or semi-nude American women in risqué poses twelve pulchritudinous females a year, with sometimes a bonus.
Today, sitting in a car repair’s waiting “lounge,” the ubiquitous tv is all you see stuck to Fox News spewing its misinformation and lies into American brains turning men, especially, into dumb-downed sheep.
I so much prefer the honesty of a classic pinup girl, acknowledging my horniness and hopes for a Saturday Night Date!
