Kohala Hospital has been around since 1917. The buildings look a little worn, but they did build a new emergency wing a few years back. Recently, I was there to have blood work done and, after I reached my destination, I realized I should have been following the blue line! All’s well that ends well. including the blood results.

I know it’s not an arty description, but this reminded me of a bar chart or perhaps city skyscrapers.

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!
