Hired, not hired

An ice freezer outside a store in Hawi, Hawaii

I think this small unit is the local branch of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Seems like a good spot, where they can leap out and apprehend wily immigrants seeking to acquire chicken wings or worse, applying for work.

Postcards from Hawaii

Postcards at a shop in Hawi, Hawaii

I thought I’d sign off from this month’s Becky’s Squares Geometric challenge (more responses here) with postcards from Hawaii.

‘Wish you were here, but having a lovely time. Weather not too bad, especially for January! I’ve seen many wonderful things, including lots of Humpback Whales. Hope to see you soon.’

An uplifting experience

The boom of a crane in Hawaii

As this month hurtles towards its conclusion, I realized I’d failed to post any crane photos for Becky’s Squares: Geometric. (See more responses here.)

They’ve finally got around to replacing the turbine blades at Hawi Wind Farm, after months of the blades just lying next to the turbines. The operation requires a crane to lift the blade assembly into place. These photos were taken while they were still preparing for that operation. The last photo shows the security for the operation!
