From 10,000 feet to sea level

 

From the top of the House of Sun, Haleakala

Aloha! Yesterday was a perfect day to travel up-country, beginning with a thrilling trip up Haleakala. We were treated with a very rare, 100% visibility day, and although the temperatures were bracing (about 50F at the top, with bracing winds), the view made everything worthwhile. This was followed by a leisurely tour of Kula and the Ulupalakula Ranch/Winery, and we finished off the day watching the young, brave and foolhardy tackle the huge waves at Hookipa.

    I find that sunshine on sugar cane picture mesmorizing.
