This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Christmas Song Lyrics.’ See more responses here.
I’m one of those people who sings, hums, and whistles Christmas songs year-round, often to the annoyance of those in earshot. Spoiled for choice, I decided to go with Silent Night with the intention of taking photos of Hawaii’s star-spangled night sky. However, by the time I got around to taking photos, the stars had been blanketed by clouds. These came from a weather system that prompted warnings of blizzard conditions and 100 mph winds!
Such conditions weren’t expected where I live – that would represent climate change of biblical proportions – but the weather system generated clouds and rain island-wide. In addition, it seemed to swirl back and forth and around the Big Island maintaining these conditions for a week and counting.
This photo looks down on the lights of Kawaihae and I think the heavy clouds add a muffled feeling that’s quite in keeping with the song.

Even the stars are silent!

Snow in Hawaii? I know it does on the Maunas but wow, crazy weather indeed, Graham. I Love this photo and it is the perfect one for a “silent night.” I sing Christmas songs most of the year, too 🙂

No snow here, but it’s currently bucketing down rain. I feel sorry for anyone who’s visiting here this week. It’s been cool, gray, and wet. Most people can get that at home!
