This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Traditions.’ See more responses here.
I’m the world’s worst fisherman and would have starved long ago if I had to rely on catching fish for food. But in Hawaii, fishing has long been a traditional way of putting food on the table. With line, net, or spear, on shore or from a boat, catching fish has been, and still is, a big feature of island life. And if the fish aren’t biting, at least the view tends to be wonderful.
I was going shopping when the late afternoon light on this building in downtown Kailua Kona caught my eye. Then I noticed the names of the businesses within and I thought, ‘I’ve got no reason to go in there!’
I took this at Kawaihae Harbor because the shadow made me think of a giant, alien praying mantis approaching. Yes, these are things I think about!
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 170. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
This is a traditional barber’s pole out in front of the place where I get my hair cut. I like the print next to it too. It looks like my hair before I go in!
I photographed this recent sunset from the front lanai. It helped that I climbed up on the railing, which allowed me to omit most of the wires, poles, and automobiles! Photography is not without risks!
I’m happy to report that last week’s full moon was the final named supermoon of the year. These days, full moons remind me of the competitions where everyone goes home with a trophy; they’re all the best ever. This one was called the Beaver Moon for reasons that aren’t entirely clear. I looked closely at the photo, but couldn’t make out any large teeth or dams anywhere!
