Homage Paid

There's something sad about this arrangement of floral leis carefully arranged on the back of the stone bench. The wife and I came upon this scene during one of our recent walking excursions at Kakaako Waterfront Park.

I'm thinking that it pays homage to, and encourages remembrance of, an event offshore. Was it an accident? Were people hurt or killed? I don't know.

But it does make me sad, and if that's the purpose of those who placed the leis, then their action worked on me. I only wish I could have directed my inner homage in the right direction.
