HD: Kohala Jodo Mission

Kohala Jodo Mission from hawaii on Vimeo.

One of the key stops on our regular pilgrimages to the Big Island is a drive out to Kapa'au, ancestral home of my mother's side of the family, to visit the graves of my maternal grandparents at the Kohala Jodo Mission. Near the very northern tip of Hawaii, tucked away on a hill behind the original King Kamehameha statue, this small Buddhist temple is the epitome of peace and serenity.

The above is the embedded video player from Vimeo, one of the only online video hosts to serve up HD content. To see the HD video (and not a scaled and compressed Flash version), however, you need to view it at Vimeo or download the original movie file (1250x720/81MB/MP4). It should look great on an Apple TV.

You can also watch this video at YouTube, Google Video, and BlipTV (low quality but fast playing). DivX lovers can find this video at Stage6 (in HD). And both MPEG-4 and DivX versions of this video can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.
