Trips up Haleakalá
A silversword, a flowered (and now dead) silversword, and the big dipper part of Ursa Major in the background.
Crater at night. I planned this photo to be around 10pm where the (half) moon would illuminate the landscape while being slightly behind me. The moons position is also key for hiding satellites in the sky because they reflect its light.
The Big Island in the distance.
Haleakala with Jupiter showing high in the picture. The beehive cluster below Jupiter is the center of the constellation Cancer.
West Maui Mountains and the lower cities.
Everyone who knows me knows that I am putting together a coffee table book of landscape bathrooms.

The only Silversword habitat in the world!

We spent a lot of time whale watching because the humpback whales migrate south to here every winter. Some come from washington and all the way up from alaska. While I was working from the airbnb, I would watch the whales blowing all day.
Also brought my road bike. I rode the West Maui Loop and HAleakala.
