Sunset at Mauna Kea [46]

leave a comment »

One of the best adventures we had on the Big Island of Hawaii was to book a Mauna Kea sunset tour. The tour took us in four wheel drive vans to the summit to watch the sun set and learn about the observatories, geology, ecology and spirituality of Mauna Kea.

The sun sets beyond the clouds. In the foreground (left to right, you can see Keck II and the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF).

The Rules

One imaginative image posted per day. Images taken within a week of posting.

Inspiration – because sometimes it’s hard to take another picture.

“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” - Jack London

"If you don't feel that you are possibly on the edge of humiliating yourself, of losing control of the whole thing, then probably what you are doing isn't very vital. If you don't feel like you are writing somewhat over your head, why do it? If you don't have some doubt of your authority to tell this story, then you are not trying to tell enough." ~ John Irving
