This weed-covered backhoe sits besides Hawi Hill, the road from Hawi that leads to Waimea. I’ve passed the spot numerous times and often thought I should get this photo. The problem is that the hill is steep and narrow here, with nowhere to pull off to take the photo. The closest obvious parking place meant a walk back up this busy road.
Finally, one day recently, I was heading home down the hill in the late afternoon. Traffic was light with nothing coming toward me or following close behind. So I stopped the car in the road, wound the window down, and snapped a couple of photos, including this one. Then it was off again, before someone careened into the back of me.
The risks we take for a good photo 🙂

The weeds have definitely won, Graham! Glad the photo shoot went well, LOL! I think I read somewhere that it only takes 10 years for a house to completely crumble once nature takes over.

Things get overrun pretty quickly here, especially on the wet side of the island.
