Hawaii - Haleakala

10,000 feet above sea level (more or less) is the summit of Mt Haleakala. whenever we're on Maui, we make the pilgrimage. I always go with the notion of hiking half a day down into the crater and always chicken out in the face of strong, vry cold wind. Did it again this time. but the view is terrific.

These photos were taken in January 2009 mostly with a Nikon D3.
