Catching the wind

Black netting around a building project near Hawi, Hawaii

This netting is designed, not so much to catch the wind, as to not get blown away by it. It was surrounding a project to build a new water tank for agricultural use, to replace the Kohala Ditch, which no longer holds water.

Downtown Hawi

The main highway through Hawi is Akoni Pule Hwy., though it looks more like Abbey Road in this photo!

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Your Home Town.’ See more responses here. Downtown Hawi is only about a block long, but it can be a busy little place, and popular with tourists on their way to and from Pololu Valley.

I was going to post here about how our power was back on and so it’s time to stow the battery-powered lantern that was our chief source of light these last few days. However, a new system looks like it’s forming in the central Pacific and it has the potential to reprise the events of last weekend. So I think I’ll keep the lantern handy, just in case.

The Numbers Game #133

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