The Numbers Game #97

A Goldring Surgeonfish and its shadow, or is it? It looks that way, but the shadow is a different fish!

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 219. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Black and white, some in color

I was photographing the building, but realized later that all the vehicles were white except for the one black one. What are the chances?

This week’s Sunday Stills color challenge theme is ‘Black (and/or) Black-and-White.’ See more responses here.

Coconut Island

Coconut Island, seen from the waterfront of Hilo, Hawaii

Coconut Island, or Mokuola, is a small island in Hilo Bay. It’s connected to Hilo by the footbridge seen on the right in this photo. I took this photo when I was in Hilo recently and realized that I’ve never been across the footbridge. I didn’t have time that day, but it’s definitely on my list to do next time I’m in town.
