A New VW bus in Hawi, Hawaii

Recently, I’ve seen this vehicle, and a few others like it, but it was only a few days ago that I noticed these were Volkswagons. So I looked it up and discovered that this is the new version of the VW bus.

It gets good reviews and likely contains all the comforts of home. But I confess, the first time I saw it, and it’s still my reaction, was to think it was just another oversized SUV.

An old truck in a black and white image in Hawaii

I saw this truck when I was waiting at a traffic light, whipped out my phone, and snapped a couple of photos. Not sure what kind of truck it was, but I thought the image looked best in black and white, with the truck itself not looking much different than in color.
