That’s a nice shot! I was on Maui for a 5-day conference several years ago, but was not in a place where I could include Haleakala in a sunset pic.
I did visit the summit, though—it almost seemed an alien planet. This is a shot into the summit crater. (From what I read, it is not considered a volcanic caldera because non-volcanic events (like floods) have modified it extensively). For scale, about 1/3 in from the right edge of the pic and 1/10 up from the bottom is a bluish-white dot. That is a pair of hikers. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/Maui-Volcano/i-R7RnXss/A Rick > On Feb 23, 2023, at 10:39 AM, Daniel J.
