Moon above the airport

A view of the full moon over Kailua Kona Airport in Hawaii

Recently, I was headed to Kailua Kona early one morning. The full moon was dipping towards the horizon as I passed the airport there, so I pulled over and took photos, just as a plane took to the air.

The second photo is an example of unintentional camera motion. I’ve no idea what I was doing, but I like the result!

It’s coming to get you

The former Sonny's Restaurant building being torn down in Hawi, Hawaii

Sonny’s Place was a long-established restaurant in downtown Hawi. It was still in business when I first moved here, though it looked worse for wear even then. I was advised not to eat there. Within a couple of years it appeared to be shut down, though the difference was marginal at best.

Recently, someone bought the place and I wondered what they would do with it. Then this excavator appeared and I thought I should get photos before the building disappeared. I finally did a couple of Sundays ago. The next day the lot was cleared.
