[Rockhounds] Hawaii

[Axel Emmermann]

[Axel] >> saw the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy observatory.

[Axel] As conceived by Bill Heacox. Unfortunately some bright civil servant, along the long line of people who had a say in it, decided that a titanium roof would look great on the structure... Ergo: that gobbled up most of the budget for the Imiloa Center. It's still a good exhibition, I have fond memories of it, but somehow the idea tastes a bit bitter. Some chances were missed, I'm sure.

Cheers
