A lot of new construction these days starts with a concrete slab, but this building has a post and pier beginning. One thing you don’t have to worry about in Hawaii is cold weather freezing your house’s pipes! Our water line runs above ground from the meter to the house. There are disadvantages to this though. Last week, the line ruptured because it runs through a clump of palms, and those growing plants finally bent the water line beyond its ability to flex.
Happily, I don’t spend a lot of time in waiting rooms, but when I do, I tend to look around rather than at my phone. These carpet tiles at my optometrist caught my eye. They might have been designed to warm me up for my upcoming exam!
Enough said!
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.
Numbered seating at the Edith Kanaka’ole Stadium in Hilo. I reckon quite a few two-ticket people attend events there!
Late afternoon sun on the ocean off Kohala.
This old porthole hangs on a wall at Mohala’s Bayfront Fish & Chips restaurant in Hilo, but you can still see outside through it!
