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.

Haleakala last erupted in the 1790s. It is 33 miles wide and 24 miles long, and the main crater is 7.5 miles long and 2.5 miles wide. / This is how the crater looks like right after the sunrise, around 6:30am. / / Featured in Hawai’i ~ Aloha Na’au group.

Sunrise over the Crater at the 10,000 ft altitude was at 5:40 AM. It’s amazing when you think about the sheer mechanics of the whole situation. Very humbling and an experience not to be missed if you are on the Island of Maui.

Sunset from the western slopes of Haleakala Maui Hawai`i “Well, I found you in the twilight garden, / Laid a lover’s hand upon your shoulder, / And we both were made aware of loving / Past the reach of reason to unravel, / Or the much desiring heart to follow. There we heard the breath among the grasses / And the gurgle of softly running water, / Well contented with the spacious starlight, / The cool wind’s touch and the deep blue distance, / Till the dawn came in with golden sandals.” Poetry by Sappho Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 01 June 2008 20:13:57 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/200 / Av( Aperture Value ) 8.0 / ISO Speed 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 60.0 mm Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved

Western Slopes of Haleakala / Mauka Mists / Gazing out over the isthmus of the island of Maui at sunset. “And upon the stillness of a cloud-filled afternoon, the child asked of the Mystic: “Where is God, the Creator, and how will I endeavor to find the sacredness of His Being?” And the Mystic answered: Once upon a thousand years ago did a man seek the answer to your very question. He searched the mountains for the One called God; But he only saw the green and yellow blanket of distant aspen trees. He walked along the ocean shore, to know the Creator of Life; But all he heard was the rhythmic roar of the tide’s own song. He rode across the prairie, looking to find God at his journey’s end; But all that came to him was the sweet fragrance of the wild flower’s bloom. He reached out for the sky, pleading for a sign of His Presence; But he only felt the vastness and timelessness of the starlit night. Oh foolish man that he was, to search for God with the eyes of his mind; / When He was forever with him, when seen through the eyes of his soul.” ~ Listen close and you shall hear the whispering wind both far and near. Truths revealed while all alone that you might find the way back Home. ~ excerpt from The Prophet’s Candle by Daniel

Oil – 16×20, 1-3/4” deep, stretched canvas on wood. The original is painted on all sides to match the face of the painting. / / Maui, Hawaii, volcano called “Haleakala” which translates into “house of the sun.” Commissioned by Sgt. Pullen, a Washington, D.C. Firefighter who took the original photo and provided a copy to me to use as my guide. There is a lovely and romantic story behind the photo/painting…... Sgt. Pullen proposed to his then girlfriend high atop this volcano looking out over this spectacular view.. I asked him about the proposal, and in in his own words he said: “We had to leave the hotel at 2:00 am in order to reach the summit by sunrise. It was a long winding trip to the 10,000 ft. summit. On the beach it was 85 degrees. On top of the volcano, it was a balmy 28 degrees! I had the ring in my pocket all week. I was waiting for the right moment. There was no doubt, when that sun came up, that it was the perfect moment. Exactly 18 months later, to the day, we were married at sunset.” (To the Pullens ~ Thank You for allowing me to add this painting as prints, cards, etc)

At the end of a rugged 11 mile hike across hard, dry, black lava, I finally reached my goal—a tiny campsite nestled against a cloud-shrouded cliff. / I set up my tent and just wanted to plop down and take my boots off. But I had seen a tiny foot trail on a map, which led up the cliffs from this campsite. I grabbed my camera and headed into the mist. There, just a 10 minute hike up a muddy trail, I became surrounded by birds, moisture, ferns, and colors. It was an awesome spot, and thankfully hard enough to reach that very few people will ever find it. Selfish of me? Perhaps.

Pele is the “Fire Goddess” of the Hawaiian Islands. She has moved from island to island, across the chain, breathing fire along her path. Today Pele resides on the Big Island of Hawaii, where she is active and on display for anyone who dares come close enough. This image is of Haleakala Crater, on Maui. Pele last lives here 230 years ago, but may return. As I hiked alone through this 100 square mile volcanic crater, I could sense Pele’s presence in the hot dry air. Pele is powerful, but not to be feared. If you show respect to the Maddam Pele, she will control her temper and show mercy. You must treat lightly in such sacred places.

Haleakala Volcano crater is dormant now, thank goodness. I live on the side of that mountain, 15 miles from the last eruption. If Haleakala ever erupts again, there really is no place to run and hide, and so I suppose all of us on Maui will start swimming towards Japan. Within the arid crater, there is 100 square miles of lava and cinder. Dry and cruchy, like Grapenut Cereal. However there is one small corner of the crater which captures the cloud moister. In fact this is a tiny rain forest ecosystem. This place is called Paliku, “the Stand Cliff”.

Haleakala Crater in Maui, Hawaii is actually an extinct volcano resembling in many ways the surface of the moon. As a matter of fact, US astronauts have actually done training here. The long tedious ride to the top ascends from sea level to over 10,000 feet in elevation, passing through several climate zones and varied scenery and it is very difficult to actually believe that you are in Hawaii. The reward is when you reach the crater itself, located in Haleakala National Park is well worth it and is as surreal as any place on earth. Perfectly clear days are far and uncommon and I was extatic when I got here to find that it was crystal clear. I had visited on previous occasions when it was rainy and foggy with zero visability much to my dismay. To sum it up, this wonder is a true sight to behold and one of my favorite places in the world to shoot. Hiking through the crater itself, which i have done is a one of a kind experience. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do. All content & images © Stephen Vecchiotti. You may not use any images in any way without written consent from artist. All Rights Reserved.

Hale ‘o Pi’ilani Heiau / Hana Maui Hawai’i / 03 May 2009 / Fine Art Photography by Sharon Anne Mau / / This is an unedited image straight from the camera “The grounds of the amazing Kahanu Gardens are also the site of Pi’ilanihale Heiau, the largest temple in Hawai’i, with a volcanic stone platform reaching 450ft in length. The history of this astounding heiau is shrouded in mystery, but there’s no doubt that it was an important religious site for Hawaiians. Archaeologists believe construction began as early as AD 1200 and the heiau was built in sequences. The final grand scale was the work of Pi’ilani (the heiau’s name means House of Pi’ilani), the 14th-century Maui chief who is also credited with the construction of many of the coastal fishponds in the Hana area.” Information Source Lonely Planet Part of the 472 acre Kahanu Garden, the massive Pi’ilanihale Heiau, a structure constructed of lava rocks with immense tiered walls and terraces, is believed to be the largest ancient place of worship in Polynesia. Originally built in the 13th century, the heiau was extended by the High Chief Pi’ilani who came from West Maui in 1570 and conquered the chiefs of the fertile Hana area.

© 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau “Music was an important ingredient of ranch lifestyle, adding a joyous note to celebrations and gatherings and relieving the loneliness of paniolo working remote areas of the ranch. Before the era of television and other distractions, paniolo also serenaded their neighbors, bringing music and companionship to far-flung communities. Paniolo music was and is vocal, songs accompanied by guitar and/or `ukulele, stringed instruments whose portability is well-suited to cowboy life. Guitars arrived with the Mexican vaquero, while `ukulele developed later from the Portuguese branguiha brought by immigrants in 1879. Guitar playing grew a uniquely Hawaiian style called kiho`alu or slack-key. Open tuning of the strings produced a specific chord when the instrument was strummed. Some standard slack-key tunings are called taro patch, wahine and maunaloa. Other original tunings – more openly shared nowadays – were carefully guarded family secrets among older generations. Originally, slack-key guitar always accompanied song lyrics. Today it is often performed as a solo instrumental. The paniolo’s other instrument was his voice. Leo ki`eki`e or falsetto singing may have come from the Mexican falsetto tradition of the Vera Cruz area. It also had antecedents in ancient Hawaiian chant. Yodeling – later a popular element in country-western music – made an early appearance in paniolo songs. Church hymns strongly influenced paniolo harmonies. Paniolo songs document and celebrate ranch life. Always composed in the Hawaiian language, they portray personalities, events, work activities and special places. “Wiomina” tells of the 1908 rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming. “Me Ka Nani a `o Kaupo” describes Kaupo Ranch on Maui. A round-up of wild cattle is the subject of “Pu`uhuluhulu” and “Ku`u Hoa Hololio” talks about the partnership between a paniolo and his horse. Many songs use kaona, the veiled or metaphoric meaning of words so common to ancient chant and poetry. As an example, “Ne`ene`e Mai a Pili” is on one level about horseback riding, but the motions and emotions can also be understood as a description of lovemaking. Paniolo music is a folksong tradition with compositions passed on orally. Many songs have come to us passed down through families. While most songs were composed and played by paniolo themselves, composers like Charles E. King, Marcus Shutte and Sol K. Bright also wrote songs about paniolo although they were not cowboys themselves. While ranching has dwindled as an activity on the Islands, paniolo traditions live on. Singers like Sonny Chillingworth, Kindy Sprout and others perform and record the rich paniolo legacy.” Quote Text by hawaiihistory.org Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 12 May 2009 17:23:51 / Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE / Tv 1/15 Av 6.3 Partial Metering ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 28.0 mm

This remote road of gravel and red cinder is upcountry at an elevation of about 3000 feet above sea level on the southern slopes of Haleakala Volcano. Makai, ocean side, the Pacific Ocean is far down below on my left and the direction I am facing is toward Kula, which is about five miles away. This photograph was taken as the sun was setting. The flowering trees with their red bark illuminated in the sunlight are called Black Wattle, and while they are beautiful, this tree is an invasive naturalized pest. “This noxious, evergreen tree often reaches 20 meters in height. Apart from producing copious numbers of seeds, it generates numerous suckers resulting in monotypic thickets. The small seeds are not actively dispersed and, although rodents or granivorous birds cannot be totally discounted, man appears to be the principal disseminator. The species resprouts by basal shoots following fire, thereby generally intensifying the infestation. No evaluation of its potential for biological control has been made. It grows in disturbed, mesic habitats between 600-1,700 m. The major infestation is at Kula, Maui.” Information Source Black Wattle Alien Plants of Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 18 June 2009 18:21:59

Beautiful Art and Greeting Cards For Sale ~ Shop securely and view my collection here Haleakala Crater is a large erosional valley at the summit of Haleakala volcano, East Maui. It formed after the rimrock lava flows were erupted around the top of the volcano about 145,000 years ago, give or take about 10,000 years. Cinder Cones are small volcanoes within the crater composed of cinder and ash ejected during the volcanic eruption. Several volcanic eruptions blew the top off the cinder cones. Pu’u ‘o Maui is the crater’s largest Cinder Cone. You may also see Ka Moa ‘o Pele, Halali’i, Pu’u ‘o Pele, Pu’u Mamane Cinder Cones. Gazing into the mouth of the volcano. Imagine many of the cinder cones and spouts you are seeing are over 600 feet high. Haleakala is sleeping, dormant in perceived inactivity since 1792 when the last recorded volcanic eruption flowed over Makena and Ahihi Kinau. This photograph is taken as I am standing at the summit at 10,023 feet above sea level gazing into the crater. You may notice the tiny roads used by scientists to study the protected region within the volcano. Haleakala is a shield volcano. Built up from the ocean floor by countless eruptions, it was once a mountain that rose several thousand feet higher than today’s elevation. Haleakala dominates the east side of the Valley Isle and is sacred to the Hawaiian people. The mountain’s face is a mighty wall looming over the valley. Haleakala’s width spans 20 miles, ocean-to-ocean “Jelal-ud-Din Rumi has said centuries ago, that before man fire, water, earth, air, are objects; before God they are living beings that work at His command. The meaning of what Rumi has said is that all objects, all places are as gramaphone records: what is put into them they speak; either your soul hears it or your mind, according to your development.” by the Sufi Master, Hazrat Inayat Khan Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Aperature 13 Shutter Speed 1/400 ISO 400

Every 300 years or so the planet Hale’akala glows red with anger, it is then time when offerings are made to the Goddess Pele. A time when our old and unhealthy give themselves, so that the strong may live. Stories and legends tell that this tower that rises 500 feet above to sea was once a great sky ship, and it sailed between the stars, it brought the people here to this place. / Our people have some very strange stories, how could something so big fly?
