While visiting Kauai, my companion and I drove as many miles as we could (and hiked where we couldn't drive) in an effort to see the entire island. A relatively easy accomplishment since Kauai is small, approximately 550 square miles, and has only about 90 miles of coastline.
Winding our way along the two lane roads, heading west from our hotel in Poipu to the historic town of Hanapepe, we ventured onto one of our detours.
Nestled between family homes, we almost missed this modest church:
If we hadn't spotted this sign, we probably would have passed the church without notice. Be sure to read the last line.
On our return trip, down the opposite side of the same street, we spotted this home across from the church:
Here's a closer look. Apparently, they did notice the church across the street and vice-versa:
No wondering why there's a big white line running down the middle of every street!

Mdm Donna, please tell me that the past several articles have been from the same trip to Hawaii, and that you're not visiting there weekly. I couldn't stand it. Not only have I never been to Disneyland. . .I've never been to Hawaii either.
Sorry. Sometimes I can't help myself.
I bet the church bells make these people crazy. Not to mention their dogs.
I thought of that, too. Sometimes, you freak me out...
There's also a comment on the thread that's pretty funny.
Dannielle, I think they might have tried that and it didn't work.
Faith, I'm fairly certain the issue had more to do with proselytizing than parking.
Joy, the remaining food pics are an article still in progress! Thankfully I'm sort of multifaceted or perhaps easily distracted and food isn't the only thing I can write about although is is a favored subject. The sign, yes, it's a bit confusing. The little one across the driveway on the rope said, "Do Not Step Over This Rope" which tells me that these poor folks have been door knocked to insanity.
Ivy, yeah dudette, sing it loud, sing it proud!
Charli, I'm a child of the 60's which means I've been to riots and bank burnings and I don't hang around anymore to see what might happen. I already know. Hopefully, Sundays are filled with preaching...uh huh.
Kate, yeah. Right on mama.
Wilhelmine, thanks. I have sort of started liking my photos too.
Kate, that Door of Faith is like the game show (Price is Right): open one and find out which denomination, heheh.
Magi, I think I agree. Bite 'em!
John, funny you would ask that. Yeah, I got it. But this is also the island where they filmed Jurassic Park and Fantasy Island among other notable shows. Hah! I'll show you some pics later and you can sing "Bali Hai" from South Pacific as backup.
Marianne, you are a gentle soul, I suspect, but I also believe this dispute has to do with door knocking and proselytizing.
Marilee, eh Mormons and capitalism. feh.
Jennifer, I understand. I sort of hate using these photos because it makes me start packing all over again when I see them.
Jim, Ok, these are all from the same trip and I've got several more articles lined up. (I won't add that I've been to Disneyland more times than I can count or that I've been to Hawaii many times over.) Come on back out here and I'll take you to Disneyland. We can even go to SeaWorld but I'm not paying for you or the family. I will, however, give you a titillating guided tour.
Ah, marianne, you should join the diplomatic corps. That's a wonderful comment! Really, it is.
Kris, clearly there exists a conflict. The nature of it is speculative but I have a few ideas. And yes, that was the first title for this flimsy piece and then I thought better of it.
Joy,that makes us 3 peas in a pod (if it wasn't the name of a maternity shop about 20 years ago)
Aniko, do tell which one.
Let's just say it's funny in a different way from your article. :-)
Aniko, now you have me reading and re-reading comments and thinking I'm as dense as a Black Forest Cake.
Kris, uh, no.
Richard, thanks.
Thank you, Marilyn.
La Lady, nope, not horrible at all. I like the little one on the rope across the driveway that can barely be read: "Do not step across this rope!" If only a solitary rope worked to keep solicitors out, I'd have them surrounding my perimeter.
Thanks for posting to All Photo Essays Here!
Shannon, Oh dear, that's not fun at all.
Rachel, I also sympathized with the residents. There isn't much worse than having things you don't want and didn't ask for imposed upon you. It does have a tendency to create a bit of hostility I think.
Thanks, Vernell.
