I was driving the mountain road from Waimea to Hawi one day and came upon this scene. This house had appeared in what had previously been a pasture. Subsequent trips revealed that someone was building a foundation alongside for the house to be set upon. I suspect this building will ultimately be an ohana, a second dwelling for guests and relatives. A larger, more splendid structure will likely be built somewhere in front of this building to take advantage of the tremendous views.

Abstract: Maui
Exit stage left
A humpback whale breaches in Alenuihaha Channel between the Big Island and Maui. That’s Maui in the background, about 30 miles away, with the observatory just visible atop Haleakala. Also just visible, on the water to the left, is an inter-island barge which ferries goods between the main Hawaiian islands.
