The Numbers Game #129

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

A New VW bus in Hawi, Hawaii

Recently, I’ve seen this vehicle, and a few others like it, but it was only a few days ago that I noticed these were Volkswagons. So I looked it up and discovered that this is the new version of the VW bus.

It gets good reviews and likely contains all the comforts of home. But I confess, the first time I saw it, and it’s still my reaction, was to think it was just another oversized SUV.

Is there anybody there?

An unoccupied house near Hawi, Hawaii

I think this house was occupied when I first moved to Hawaii, but it’s been empty for years now. Last week, I noticed the plants on the lanai. They’re not growing in pots on the lanai, they’re growing up through the lanai. My guess is that eventually this structure will be demolished and something new built in its place.
