Fresh Off The Grid
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Fresh.’ See more responses here.
A couple of miles before the end of the Akoni Pule Highway, at Pololu overlook, there’s a roadside food stand called Fresh Off The Grid. There’s no power at that end of the road, hence the ‘off the grid.’
I confess, I’ve never eaten there, in part because I seldom go to Pololu these days. It’s a bit overrun and the parking is terrible, though now they have stewards directing traffic and controlling the comings and goings, which is a big improvement.
But the food stand gets good reviews and seems to have a good selection of locally-grown food on the menu. It also has a nice variety of flowers around and a killer view of the ocean, plus mules and horses. What’s not to like.

The road to the sea
The view from the top of Kynnersley Road in Kapaau. Alas, it does not reach the sea, though there are ways to access the shore along that stretch of coast.
It’s frosty up there

I don’t see a lot of frost here in Hawaii, but the top of Mauna Kea is almost always cold. When I was up there last year, there was some snow on the ground and the freezing wind was whipping.
It’s much more comfortable to view the chilly scene from the warmth and comfort of the lowlands. Zooming in on my camera is close enough to the real thing!
Early morning at Hapuna Beach
Hapuna Beach is rightly known for its long stretch of smooth sand and inviting water, but there are rocks to be found there. I think they add a bit of character.

Sunrise and clouds
My last photo for January was a sunrise shot of Mauna Kea with some interesting clouds (here). But the day before, the show was even more spectacular with some great lenticular clouds over the Waimea saddle.
