I’d like to say I took this photo because I was deeply moved by the bands of light and dark, but the truth is, I was heading home in a long line of traffic going 45 mph in a 55 mph area and there was zero chance anything was going to change. So I pulled over and took photos instead. And I did like the light contrasts on offer, so didn’t regret the stop.
When enough time had passed for me not to catch up to the funeral cortege I’d been following, I put my camera away and got ready to head home. As I did so, a large truck, pulling a trailer, rumbled by on the highway. I sighed, but at least the truck driver had the decency to barrel along as best he was able and we made decent time, even on the hill up from the coast, just before Hawi.

This rustic bench behind the beach at Pololu is a good spot to just sit and watch the waves.

I bet this is there because someone, down below, is sleeping with the fishes.
On the Big Island, Mamalahoa Highway is known as the top road. It’s part of the original road around the island. In the 1970s, the stretch between Kaiwaihae and Kailua Kona was supplemented with a new highway along the coast, known as Queen Ka‘ahumanu Highway or Queen K Highway.
Mamalahoa Highway travels father inland, up on the slopes of Hualalai Volcano. When it get towards Kailua Kona, those slopes are steep. It’s a big residential area with spectacular views out towards Maui and the sunset. The downside of the location is that anyone living there needs to make sure the brakes on their vehicles are always in tiptop condition.

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Parks.’ See more responses here.
Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park is the best known park on the island. It covers 354,461 acres, which includes, not just the Kilauea area, but up to the summit of Mauna Loa and down the southwest rift zone of that volcano. The park contains 106 miles of roads and 155 miles of marked trails, many of them well off the beaten track.
I’ve hiked a lot in the park, though I doubt I’ll ever cover all the trails, but these photos are from ones I’ve done with links to the original posts for those interested.
