Photographs

They are coming thick and fast at the moment. This afternoon’s double rainbow. 🌈

A vibrant rainbow arcs over a lush green hedge and a leafless tree, with a concrete wall and driveway in front, on a clear day.

While I was out of action this last week because of a migraine, a few rainbows appeared in the sky which I have not posted here. When my health and tolerance of light due to the migraine allowed me outside, I grabbed shots of some of those rainbows - one (maybe two?) a double. I’m sharing them here. 🌈

This morning’s rainbow. This one has lingered for a good hour. 🌈

A part rainbow over a lush landscape with a cloudy blue sky and the ocean in the distance.

These two photos capture either end of this morning’s rainbow, which although the ends were visible, there was no join in the middle. 🌈

Two photos showing either end of a rainbow in a sky of scattered cloud, rising up over rich vegetation and a lawn.

This evening’s rainbow…just. I caught it just as it faded into the sky behind it. 🌈

This morning’s rainbow 🌈

An outside light with multiple layers. Rain droplets hang from each layer. The light is on. Visible behind the light is concrete, and below grass.

A review of the movie, The Room Next Door. The reviewer liked the film despite finding it a little wordy initially and felt that it asked important questions about voluntary euthanasia. Also mentioned was the use of colours in the staging of the film.

The VOG has now gone, but all that volcanic dust in the air sure did produce some beautiful sunsets. This one looking over the West Maui Mountains a couple of evenings ago.

A picture of Robert De Niro in a suit is alongside a review for the limited series Zero Day saying it was entertaining, praising the acting but suggesting improvements could be made to the script and plot.

Another rainbow appeared later this morning. Perhaps it is rainbow season? 🌈

This morning’s rainbow 🌈. A double rainbow. They actually arched right across the sky in a perfect arc, but it was raining at the time and I would have got soaked trying to capture that.

I took a while to see this through, but it was worth it.

A review of the Tattooist of Auschwitz. Liking and recommending the series, how it shows the horrors of the holocaust.

We’ve just finished watching this series on Apple TV+.

A review of the Apple TV+ series about the Vietnam war, regarding it as good.

This morning’s, faint, rainbow out over the ocean 🌈

A lush, green lawn extends towards distant hills under a partially cloudy sky, with a small structure visible in the background. Behind that, out in the ocean, is a small, faint rainbow.

I drove home yesterday evening coming down the Haleakala Highway. It affords one a view of the West Maui mountains in front, the south shore to the left and the north shore to the right. On a clear day the island of Molokai is also visible to the north west.

The Bunker Friday 17th January, 2025

Sorry no new murals on the Bunker today, but I thought to share a couple of other perspectives as to where the Bunker sits on the cliffs.

As the saying goes, I do believe that at times,

A change is as good as a rest.

Around lunchtime today I felt that I needed to clear my head, take a short break. So instead of laying down or just sitting quietly, I took a drive to the cliffs for a walk, and to look out at and take in the ocean - in short to let nature in, in order to shake the cobwebs out of me. While I was there, I also took the opportunity to see if any changes had been made to the Bunkerthat was actually another reason why I headed over there.

I’m pleased that I decided to do that. I wasn’t out for long, but I returned feeling refreshed and jumped straight back into things.

A rocky shoreline is bordered by crashing waves under a clear blue sky. Cliffs with trees on reach down to the ocean.

I’m catching up with some images from the weekend. Sunday was a good day for rainbows. Here are a few 🌈

A lush green landscape is bathed in sunlight under a blue sky with scattered clouds and a faint rainbow in the distance in the midst of cloud over the ocean.

Some artists, or an artist was busy last night. This new mural was on the Bunker as I drove by today. I’ve included a few photographs to show what was created.

This evening’s rainbow 🌈

A vibrant rainbow arcs over a suburban scene with green grass, trees, and a house under a bright blue sky.

After a thunderstorm to end all thunderstorms last night, the rumbles shaking the house and the lightening illuminating the landscape, we woke up to snow on the summit of Haleakala (please excuse my iPhone Mini 13 struggling with the distance of the shot).

It is sounding right now as though the south side of the island might have got it worse than the north. Huge power outages and trees down.

Palm trees in the foreground with a mountain top with smatterings of snow on it and cloudy skies in the background.
