Liquid Gold Sky!!
Now for the sunrise!!! WE went up to Haleakala National Park. Also know as "House of the Sun" Nothing like seeing the sun come up over the Horizone and turning the sky to liquid gold.
The drive to the volcano is 37 miles up from sea level to the summit. It is one of the greatest elevation gains in the shortest distance in the world. Nothing like touching the sun!
Well holding it in the palm of your hand is pretty cool as well. We left Megan's house at 3:45 am to make it up the top in time
Can't tell you how pretty it was!
It was 42 degrees when we got up there.
Someone sang a very beautiful song while we watched it come up.
These next two shots are what they call the crater. By definition though it isn't really one, but it is cool to see.
Maui Island is in the shape of a body. This is a picture of the neck. This is the view coming down the volcano.
This is one of my favorite pictures. It looks like you drive right off onto the clouds. Actually we were talking about how it looked like you could walk across the clouds.
Beautiful pictures! I'm glad to see you slowed down enough to share them with the rest of us! ;-) So did you win the Hawaiian trivia competition?
ReplyDeleteno someone beat us getting it in, but they had internet access on their phone. Cheaters. :) they probably started the quiz before we did too.
