I lived on the island of Oahu, in Hawaii Kai, from 1995 to Spring 2007. Living on a small island, myself , family and friends would sometimes run into movie stars or other famous people. Also we would hear, first hand, about star gossip or misfortunes. Dog the Bounty Hunter lived in the neighborhood, so did Sawyer (Josh Holloway) from Lost. In fact he drove into our church parking lot one day to buy local style chicken we were selling for our preschool fund-raiser.
So being a sci-fi fan, I had purchased Lost Season 1 & 2 at Costco in Hawaii Kai when I lived there. This year I received Lost Season 3 as a Christmas present from my youngest daughter here in Canada. Of course I have watched them all already. This mini series certainly has its up and downs, and it keeps me trying to figure out what bizarre thing is going to happen next and/or to whom. All one needs to do is Google "lost update" to get the latest news on Lost Revelations, Lost Theories, The Lost Experience, etc.
I, personally, also enjoy watching an episode and recognizing one of the actual island beaches, valleys and places that they chose in filming. In fact, as an artist, I have painted a few of these movie set locations.

About a month ago I saw the above map of the Lost island for the first time.
Then last week I found the map below that details the locations of the Dharma Initiative Abandonment Stations.
My love of modeling and creating dioramas, led me to study the above maps, and notice a similarity between the above created Lost island maps and the actual Hawaiian island of Oahu below ...Mmm!

Both even have two mountain chains.
