The next big thing

We’ve all seen surfers and surfing competitions. Ho hum. We’ve seen big wave surfers falling off 50-foot wave faces. Yawn. Well, here’s a glimpse of the next big thing. Surfing over shopping trolleys! This can only lead to surfing over cars and semi-trucks. What’s not to like! You heard it here first.

Moon above the airport

Recently, I was headed to Kailua Kona early one morning. The full moon was dipping towards the horizon as I passed the airport there, so I pulled over and took photos, just as a plane took to the air.

The second photo is an example of unintentional camera motion. I’ve no idea what I was doing, but I like the result!

Going green

The view from Waipio Valley overlook offers many shades of green and a good deal of blue.

This week’s Sunday Stills color challenge theme is ‘Shades of Green.’ Captions are on the photos. See more responses here.

The Numbers Game #63

Water surges into a cavern at South Point.

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