I enjoyed seeing this sign at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park. I guess the storm was severe enough to knock the sign over.

Abstracts: A wavy green turtle
A green turtle takes on a different appearance as it swims through the waters of Kiholo Bay. The original photo (above) already has an impressionistic look, but I experimented with a few effects and quite like the subtle difference of the posterized version below.
Better Days: Overrun truck
Cane grass and other plants are well on their way to overwhelming this old truck.
Abstracts: Disappearing eel
I thought I’d seen the last of a large undulating eel when it slid under a ledge, but it re-emerged, only to slide into a crease in this patch of coral. The tail was visible for a short while, giving me this final peek, until that too disappeared.
Abstracts: Bluff
Another post on the theme of ‘Rounded,’ this week’s WordPress photo challenge.
This formation caught my eye, reminding me of the rounded bluffs of the Southwest. This bluff, though, is just bluffing. It’s the result of heavy rain on a large patch of silt and dirt, in an erosion control area.
Abstracts: Electric substation
A final post on the theme of ‘Glow,’ this week’s WordPress photo challenge.
An electric substation in the late afternoon light. I like these kinds of facilities with their metal frames, wires, and boxes with the Frankenstein-like insulators on top. Grab hold of those wires, and I’d glow too.

Cattle trails wander through pastureland on Kohala Mountain.
