America the Beautiful | Hawaii after Sunset

America the Beautiful | Hawaii after Sunset

America the Beautiful | Hawaii after Sunset  The Big Island of Hawaii always has such beautiful, warm beaches no matter what time of year.  The Kona Coast, the western coast of Hawaii, is also considered the sunny side of the island.  This sunset image was captured along a northwestern shoreline path.  Look closely in the background and you may see Maui’s volcano, Haleakalā, rising above the clouds,  For the whole story with all images, see America the Beautiful | a 7 Image Story.

Minolta XG-9 to Maui | Haleakala Crater

Minolta XG-9 to Maui | Haleakala Crater   Haleakala, the world’s largest dormant volcano, means “house of the sun” in Hawaiian.  Sunrise on Haleakala may be the most spectacular sunrise on earth.  Near the 10,023 foot summit, the Haleakala Crater offers hours of hiking in a colorful, sculpted cinder desert.   There are many hiking trails offering solitude with scenic vistas through sub-alpine shrub land, cloud forest, and cinder desert.  A 10,000 foot mountain in the middle of an ocean can have dramatic weather changes in a single day including wind, rain, and hot/cold temperature swings.  For the whole story with all images, see Minolta XG-9 to Maui | a 7 Image Story.
