The photo above poses the question as to whether this barge captain is entirely clear on the concept. The photo below reveals that, yes, he or she is. These are two of the inter-island barges passing in the Alenuihaha Channel.

Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea
Another post on the theme of ‘Rounded,’ this week’s WordPress photo challenge.
The rounded domes of the two Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea gaze out over the clouds to Maui – and a bit farther afield too.
Maui view
Another layered view, this time of Maui, from North Kohala. Rocks and surf in front, the Alenuihaha Channel in the middle, with Maui in the background, and a layer of cloud thrown in for good measure.
Storm in the channel
Heavy rain in the Alenuihaha Channel, between Maui and the Big Island, rumbles towards shore. Those cows are going to get a dousing.
The view from from Pu’u Ahumoa
Maui and Kohala Mountain as seen from Pu’u Ahumoa on the lower slopes of Mauna Kea. The structure on the left is what remains of an old beacon for low-flying aircraft.
A view of Maui and a wandering tattler
A wandering tattler flies along the Kohala coast on a bright breezy day. What’s notable about this photo is that it was taken in the afternoon and Maui is visible. The reason for that can be seen in the waves. They’re coming from the west to northwest. Waves were from the northeast are driven by the usual northeasterly trades, and those winds would have pushed cloud cover across Maui by this time of day.
Boats at anchor
A pair of sailboats at anchor off the Big Island with Maui in the background.
Clouds over Waimea
Seen from the lower slopes of Mauna Kea, a blanket of cloud climbs over the Kohala Mountains and Waimea, but Maui is still visible in the background.
