Location: Haleakala Summit, Maui
Okay, so today’s Monday, not Sunday. But I hope that you’ll agree that this one was worth waiting the extra day. As we did last year, this week’s photo is straight from our current visit to the Valley Isle. And as I’ve been mentioning for months now, this year’s trip was the long awaited visit to Haleakala for the sunrise.
All told, we spent close to 4 hours at Haleakala, starting shortly after 5am and making stops at various views on the way back down. It was everything I had hoped it would be, and from a photography standpoint, I probably could’ve stayed up there the entire day. I’ll have more details about the entire morning soon, but I can tell you one this. I left the summit this morning more determined than ever to return to relive the experience this September.
Mahalo.
