View from the bench on 1871 Trail

View from a bench on 1871 trail on the South Kona coast in Hawaii.

This is the view from the bench at the top of the Alakaha ramp on the 1871 Trail, which heads south from Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. There was big surf on this day and the trail was getting regular clouds of spray from the breaking waves.

The bench though, sits above all that and also offers some shade. What’s not to like!

The Numbers Game #32

Two stores in Hawi not working out as neighbors (original story here).

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 153. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Aloha?

Hawaii is the Aloha State, but there are still limits. This business in Kailua Kona tempers the aloha spirit with the need to stop people from stealing their stuff!

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Afloat.’ See more responses here. Let’s start with boats.

But they’re not the only floating things.
