Northeast trade winds are Hawaii’s air conditioner, moderating what would otherwise be much hotter temperatures. The North Kohala coast is a spot where the winds whistle ashore. They can be very strong, but if you want to know how strong, the surest way is to ask a tree. This one is near the Kauhola Point light.

Yes, Graham, I like your intro, too! This is a great interpretation of wind, since we obviously can’t see it! Trees are so resilient, I’m sure there are countless poems about them bending away from the wind! Thanks for linking up with Sunday Stills (and for titling your post differently) 😉

Thanks, Terri. When I think about the wind, trees and whitecaps on the ocean are the first things that spring to mind.

I’m always impressed by how plants adapt to harsh conditions, not just in the wind, but also things that grow here in barren lava.

Thanks. For some reason, trees that have been so shaped by the wind have always caught my attention.
