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.
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 230. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Looking north from the old Mamalahoa Highway, in the distance is Kohala Mountain on the right and Maui on the left. The black lava curving down to the ocean is the Kaʻūpūlehu lava flow from Hualalai Volcano. This flow, which occurred in 1800/1801, was the last time Hualalai erupted, though the volcano is still considered active.

Early yesterday morning, I drove over the Kohala Mountain Road and stopped at Paniolo Adventures, an outfit that offers horseback rides through the pastures and woods on the slopes of the mountain. Shafts of light cut through the trees lining the road, illuminating parts of the corral, where it was feeding time. The horses were tucking in, but not without some spirited discussion about who should eat where. Hooves were raised, tails flicked, ears laid back, and dust clouds kicked up. But ultimately, everyone got their breakfast to set them up for the day’s rides.
