Reflections in a shiny Airstream trailer in Kawaihae Hawaii

In Kawaihae, there’s a very shiny Airstream trailer which houses Sunbird Coffee. When I stopped to take photos of it, what caught my eye was that one rounded corner of the trailer did wonderful things to vehicles waiting for shipment elsewhere, my car (on the left), and a passing truck!

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

All kinds of storms

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Storm.’ See more responses here.

I’ve gone with a few different kinds of storms starting with a Great Frigatebird or ʻIwa, which is known in Hawaii as a storm bird as they are considered indicators of approaching storms. Below is a rain storm in North Kohala on the road to Upolu.

The next two are scenes at Kawaihae port when the winds are whipping. A dirt storm above and a sand storm below.
