The boat ramp at Kawaihae small boat harbor.
Fishing from the breakwater
There are signs asserting that fishing is prohibited in Kawaihae Harbor. This fisherman could argue he’s not in the harbor, but on the edge of it. However, since walking along the harbor breakwater is also prohibited, he’d still likely be in trouble. A lot of potential drama for what was a very tranquil scene, with Pu’u Wa’awa’a and Hualalai in the background!
Red Pencil Urchin
I saw this Red Pencil Urchin in the shallows of Kawaihae Harbor. In the gentle waves, it oscillated between mostly exposed and mostly covered.
The Numbers Game #25
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 146. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
These photos, all with a 146 in their numeric identification, are from a snorkel in murky water in Kawaihae Harbor.
Long-spined Urchins
This pair of Long-spined Urchins was attached to the front of the concrete ramp, in Kawaihae harbor, that the military uses to bring vehicles and supplies ashore to Pōhakuloa Training Area.
Water abstracts
Some abstract water photos taken while walking at the harbor at Kawaihae. I started getting a little dizzy as the patterns kept changing with the gentle lapping of the water.
After the flood
After the flash floods around Kawaihae, a couple of weeks ago, I noticed this area where sizable boulders had been washed up against the highway guard rail. A week later, the area had been cleaned up and the drainage channels reconstructed.
I thought the contrasting views were interesting, but what really caught my eye, was the land beyond the drainage channel. Dusty brown in the top photo, it turned a bright shade of green, thanks to the deluge of rain. The top photo is quite representative of the area around Kawaihae, which is the driest part of the island, but the bottom one is how most of it looks currently, at least for a short while.
