The Numbers Game #101

It’s the time of year when big northwest swells start to hit the islands. This one is from a few years back.

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

Buddy, can you spare a tire

I saw this tire on a car parked outside the local Costco Tire Center. In the U.S., this kind of tire is known as a donut, a temporary tire intended to get the car to the nearest garage for a proper fix. Those labels on the wheel explain, in four languages, the limitations of this spare tire together with the speed that should not be exceeded.

Judging from the state of the tire, I suspect the driver didn’t pay too much attention to those warnings.

Black and white, some in color

I was photographing the building, but realized later that all the vehicles were white except for the one black one. What are the chances?

This week’s Sunday Stills color challenge theme is ‘Black (and/or) Black-and-White.’ See more responses here.
