Sunday Stills challenge theme this week and next week is ‘Your 2024 Year-in-Review.’ See more responses here. As usual, I’m going with a favorite photo from each month of 2024, with a caption and link to the post the photo first appeared in. This week’s post is for January through June. See the rest of the year next week.
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 170. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

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!

There’s a bit of everything on the Big Island, so these are just few of the landscapes to be seen here. Captions on the photos.
A few weeks ago, I was up at the summit of Mauna Kea with my visiting brother. I took a lot of photos up there including this one of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. I’ve always liked this observatory as it’s cute and shiny and has all kinds of different shapes going on.
One other thing it has, is disappeared. A couple of weeks after my visit, the dome was removed, part of a decommissioning process that’s been going on for a while now. Once the pad and underground utilities have been taken out, the site will be restored to its natural state.
