Alien Sunrise by

The Alien landscape inside the creater of Haleakala on Maui, Hawaii as the sun rises over the horizon. IT was freezing cold up there with a temp of about 40 and winds of 25mph or more. We got up at 3AM to make it there for sunrise and watched the temp drop almost 40 degrees as we made out ascent.

    A bit rocky for my idea of heaven, but it sure is an out-of-this-world scene – well done Mike. Movie scene territory.

    Certainly worth the agony of the cold and climb, it’s an astounding view, incredible cloud formations and the rusty dark foreground, what colors, Dawson. Your heart must be thumping in your chest in front of something like this.
