Here’s a flashback, rediscovered as I browsed through images I uploaded to Amazon Drive several years ago.
An afternoon sometime in 2006, and the ice cream truck drove slowly up Huamalani Road along the lower side of our property and stopped when our neighbor ran out to greet it.
As I recall, I had just received a new telephoto zoom lens for my Canon digital SLR camera and was out wandering in the yard taking some test photos. The new lens made it possible to zoom in on the scene.
Are there any of these trucks still operating in Honolulu?

Great photo, Ian! Timing is impeccable!
As I recall, I originally titled it “Communion.”
There has been rare sightings here in Makiki about 2 or 3 in the last 3 years. They never stay long in one place to get down from a high rise to the truck it really defeats their purpose! Maybe they should post on instagram and twitter where they’ll be.
I think nowadays the trend is for “artisanal” food trucks with eloquent, b.s. back stories selling stuff at 2-300% more than the prices I see on your photo.
