The seventh pole

A number on a utility pole in North Kohala, Hawaii

This is the seventh utility pole up Kapaau Road from the main highway through Kapaau. I’m not sure how much these numbers are used these days but, back in the day, they would have helped crews to quickly locate any particular pole. I bet there were books of maps with each pole marked on it.

The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 161. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Seven springs

Seven coiled springs arranged to look like the number seven.

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Autumn or Spring.’ See more responses here.

I’ve gone for Spring, seven of them, each with seven coils. I was going to pair it with something for Fall, but I couldn’t arrange a photo shoot with Humpty Dumpty.

Seven Nenes

Seven Nenes at Spencer Beach Park, Hawaii

I was down at Spencer Beach Park one recent morning, and the place was crowded with Nenes, 15 or more of them. It was tricky getting just seven in a shot, but this is the best of them. I believe they were drawn there by the park’s sprinkler system being in operation, as it often is at that time of day. Something to drink and assist with morning clean up, and fresh green grass for breakfast.
