The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 203. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Sacred Heart Catholic Church

The doors of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Hawi, Hawaii

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Red, White, & Blue.’ See more responses here.

When I went to photograph the red doors of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Hawi, I noticed a door was open. There was a sign asking that visitors maintain an atmosphere of reverence, which I do in churches, so in I went.

There was no one inside so I took my time wandering around. It’s not a huge church, but is obviously well looked-after. I was immediately struck by the colorful stained glass windows portraying biblical scenes. There were many nice details that I appreciated, even if I’m not a religious person, and as with almost all churches, it was calm and quiet.

A Wedgetail Triggerfish in the waters off Hawaii.

Also known as the Wedgetail Triggerfish, this is Hawaii’s official state fish. The name is easier to pronounce than it looks and it’s not even the longest fish name here. That honor goes to the Lauwiliwilinukunukuʻoiʻoi, a name given to the two longnose butterflyfish species in Hawaii.
