This morning’s, faint, rainbow out over the ocean π
Saturday, February 15, 2025 β
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.

On Wednesday of last week there was a new mural on the side of the bunker.

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 Bunker…that was actually another reason why I headed over there.
Iβm pleased that I decided to do that. I wasnβt out for long, but I returned feeling refreshed and jumped straight back into things.

I stopped by the Bunker at lunchtime to see if there were any changes. This time just a small update to one of the side panels.
I’m catching up with some images from the weekend. Sunday was a good day for rainbows. Here are a few π

Some artists, or an artist was busy last night. This new mural was on the Bunker as I drove by today. Iβve included a few photographs to show what was created.
This evening’s rainbow π
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.
I went to visit The Bunker this morning to see if there was any new art. Sadly not. Instead though, the view towards the West Maui Mountains took my breath away. The air was so clear and with that the Mountains were in sharp relief, etched against the deep blue colour of the sky.
In addition to the clear air, another swell has arrived on the North Shore. Not as large as the waves from a couple of weeks ago, but impressive nonetheless.

There is an entrance around the back of the Bunker that lets one peer inside. It is possible to go inside, but that involves climbing over a railing, and for now I decided to make do with looking in.
A VOGgy (Volcanic fog) sunset. The magic in the air from earlier this morning has stayed with us. Having said that, being upcountry I would imagine it being a lot thicker and more uncomfortable to be in.
A monk seal sleeping at Ho’okipa this evening, while surfers slip pass her/him. We’d gone there to have a picnic at sunset. It was a beautiful evening with not a breath of wind.
There was a volunteer on hand to make sure that people kept their distance from the seal. She was there until after sunset.
For the Hello Kitty fans out there.

Last night I was happy to find this photograph of the Bunker from a few years back. Yet another capture of this small building to fill in its changing faces.

With 2024 drawing to a close, only 7 more hours left here in Hawaii, I thought that I would review the first year, first month actually of The Bunker project. Only a couple of new murals have been added since I started this project at the beginning of December, so most of this first batch of paintings are Bunker murals that I just happened to have captured over recent years.

A couple of rainbows from this morning π

Yesterday evening a group of us went up to Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area for sunset and a picnic. The views were spectacular, looking across the Valley Isle to the West Maui Mountains, with Lana’i in the distance.

This photograph is of the ocean facing side of the bunker. If anything happens here related to art, it is usually random graffiti. However, I took this photo because of the cow and her calf sitting in the shade of the building.

When I went back to the cliffs to see the waves the day after the last posting, someone had defaced or graffitied over the image from the day before. So I thought to include that update here, as well as a photo giving another perspective of the location of the bunker. Here you see people out watching the big swell that was breaking that day. In the distance are the lowlands of the West Maui Mountains, as well as the island of Moloka’i.
