I thought I’d usher the old year out with a sunset photo, taken along the North Kohala coast. I’d also like to wish everyone all the best in the coming year.

Picture yourself here
Yes, it’s winter in the northern hemisphere. The nights are drawing in and the temperatures heading south. So pull up a chair, set that tall, cool drink on the little table, and just relax!
Merry Christmas everyone.
Signs: And this business is?
I can’t remember why I took this photo, but I don’t think it’s too hard to figure out what kind of business it stands in front of.
Sunrise over Mauna Kea
The sun rises behind Mauna Kea, coloring the sky, and backlighting the telescopes at the summit.
Christmas lights
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Light the Night.’ See more responses here.
A lot of people, myself included, don’t bother with lights here, but there are always some displays. Here’s one I quite like.
Heavy rain
We had some strange weather here a week or so ago when a very wet system hung around the island for several day. One of the results was that we would get some sudden downpours such as this one.
Breadfruit
Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is generally considered to be a canoe plant, brought to Hawaii by Polynesian settlers, though it’s not entirely clear when the introduction occurred. However, it is clear that breadfruit, known as ‘ulu in Hawaii, was a major food source in days gone by and that the trees were possibly the most prevalent tree to be found on the islands.
An interesting paper about breadfruit can be found at https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu › oc › freepubs › pdf › breadfruit.pdf.
