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.
The church was built in 1925 and is celebrating its centenary this year.

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.

There’s a water dispenser in downtown Hawi that’s available 24 hours, seven days a week. Quite a lot of people live off grid here and while they collect catchment water, they often don’t have systems for making it safe to drink. That’s where this spot comes in handy. It could use a new banner though.
