This week’s Sunday Stills color challenge is ‘Amethyst.’ See more responses here. Just a couple from me this week. The top photos is a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air auto looking very clean and shiny, though a closer look shows a few signs of age. I know the feeling!
In the second photo, we are amethyst even if the look of this sign in a window doesn’t exactly lure one in.
Pololu is at the end of the main highway through North Kohala. It was popular with bike tour operators who would drop their clients in Hawi for the 15 mile round trip to Pololu lookout and back. However, the stretch from Kapaau is narrow and winding and the shoulder is slim to non-existent. It also gets a lot of traffic with people keen to see the views without getting all hot and sweaty. So after some accidents and more near misses, people lobbied to have the bike tours banned. This duly happened and is, on balance, a good thing I think.
I did like this sign, about 100 yards from the road end at Pololu. It seems a bit late to warn about the ban, but perhaps it’s meant to discourage tour operators from driving their clients to the end of the road and having them cycle back!
This month’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Any shade of brown and/or gray.’ See more responses here.

From one of the local displays.
I saw this metal art piece in Kapaau, tucked away behind the King Kamehameha statue. Have to say I have mixed feelings about this one!
I spotted this cat in Kapaau doing a spot of cleaning before settling down on the conveniently provided recliner.
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Scary.’ See more responses here.
I saw this in a local Halloween window display and imagined her as a real nurse entering my hospital room. Possible conversations soon followed.
“You say you had the same wrist surgery as I’m going to have! How did it go?”
“So you have my test results. How do they look?”
“How much blood do you need to draw?”
“Nice to hear you like giving your patients a hand.”
“Oh, you don’t use a machine to take x-rays.”
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 213. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
