Another photo I had pegged for last month’s Becky’s Squares. In truth the truck had stopped there, and was still there when I left the area.

Port lights
I took this photo for last month’s Squares challenge. It was only when I got home and took a closer look that I saw there weren’t seven lights, but 10! The best laid plans and all that.
Alien overlords
Light standards tower over a work area, inside a gate at the Port of Kawaihae. The headline says what they make me think of.

Horn-eyed Ghost Crab
I’m not entirely confident that this is a Horn-eyed Ghost Crab, but that’s what my usual ID source says. On the plus side, it’s clearly bigger than a Pallid Ghost Crab. But Horn-eyed Ghost Crabs are generally not seen during the day, though this was taken in the early morning. They also have points on their eye stalks, though I’ve seen photos without. Any input on identity would be appreciated.
Let there be light
The port lights at Kawaihae illuminate the water in the early morning.
Feral cats
I saw these three feral cats at Kawaihae Small Boat Harbor. They were giving me the kind of look you see in horror movies, but seemed placid enough. None have clipped ears, indicating they’ve not been spayed or neutered, though it’s possible they’re young enough to have not been rounded up yet. Either way, we don’t look likely to run out of cats here any time soon.
Through the ages
In the background, Mauna Kea is around one million years old.
In the middle, Pu’ukohola Heiau dates back to 1790, when King Kamehameha built it to fulfill a prophecy that an ongoing war would end and he would rule all the Hawaiian islands.
And in the foreground is a container that is clearly young!
The Numbers Game #35
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 156. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
