Catching the wind
This netting is designed, not so much to catch the wind, as to not get blown away by it. It was surrounding a project to build a new water tank for agricultural use, to replace the Kohala Ditch, which no longer holds water.
Can you hear water?
Floodwater conduits under the road just below the visitor information center on Mauna Kea. I wouldn’t be standing there if it was raining hard.
Waiter, there’s an orchid in my tea

Early morning clouds
Hurricane Nolo passed south of the Big Island this weekend without doing too much in the way of damage. It was windy, and there was a good deal of rain, and these dramatic skies as the hurricane approached.
Downtown Hawi
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Your Home Town.’ See more responses here. Downtown Hawi is only about a block long, but it can be a busy little place, and popular with tourists on their way to and from Pololu Valley.
Trees down
A couple of the trees blown down by Hurricane Lala at Mahukona Beach Park. The park was shut for several days with lots of trees blown down and other damage. The wharf parking area is still closed because concrete barriers, that prevent people from driving into the sea, have to be replaced. One is currently underwater, next to the steps where people get in the water.
Another hurricane is currently passing close to the island so more damage is likely!
