Another photo from near the summit of Mount Haleakala.

On my recent trip to Maui, I drove to the 10,023’ top of Mount Haleakala. Unfortunately on that day, the cloud layer started around 6000’, so I wasn’t able to see a lot when I got to the top. As the clouds would blow by, I tried to take a few photos of the telescopes at the top of the mountain. After some heavy post-processing, I decided that black and white was best for this photo.

On a trip to Maui last week, we paid a visit to the Nakalele Blowhole. A man was killed here last year when he was sucked under; we made sure to keep our distance. The blowhole is a natural formation in the lava flow. Water crashes in from the ocean and surges up the tube. In this picture, the water is shooting up 20-30 feet.

What you don’t see in this picture is the circus tent to the right that they’re walking into. That, and the clowns, whom I had to Photoshop out. I hate clowns. Taken in Sabi Sands, South Africa.

These guys were left to play on an ant hill, supervised by two lionesses who were watching from about 50 yards away. From Sabi Sands, South Africa.
