Scary head

When I was walking along the coast toward Hapuna Beach recently (post here) I came around one corner of the trail and saw this top photo. Luckily, it was broad daylight, because if it was dark, I would have screamed and run.

This head had a little friend, and the two of them reminded me of a British sci-fi horror movie from the 60s called Village of the Damned.

It was a peculiar scene, not just because of the subjects, but because these sculptures, along with a couple of others, are only visible from the trail. And they can’t be approached because there are some old Hawaiian ruins in this area. It’s like they’ve been banished into this twilight zone and they’re not happy about it!

Posted for Becky’s Squares theme of “Walking” (See more responses here).

UFOs

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Mysterious.’ See more responses here.

I took these photos, through the window of a local gallery, for last week’s ‘Glass’ theme. When I got home and looked at the images, I wasn’t exactly sure whether they were glass or some kind of plastic.

The more I looked at them, the more I thought they looked like UFOs. Then I saw the figures in each one and I started to wonder what was going on in this so-called gallery. Something mysterious, no doubt.

Perhaps I should call the FBI, or maybe the Men in Black!

Buddha statue

On the South Kohala coast, in front of the Hilton resort, there are several statues, including this Buddha statue. There are a couple of benches facing the statue for those who want to spend some time in quiet contemplation, but one could easily sit the other way, facing out to sea, and feel equally blessed.
