Weekly Photo Challenge – Scale
Haleakalā or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the Western Maui Mountain. The tallest peak of Haleakalā (“house of the sun”), at 10,023 feet (3,055 m), is Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haleakal
We drove to the summit of Haleakalā. The drive was pleasant on this cloudy day. The heavy clouds drifted over the island casting shadow in the ocean and on the beaches. We visited the crater and the volcanic area. There was a “hill” made of lava rocks, and a path was made for people like me who walked to the top and say “hi” to you! I’m now looking at the scale of the hill and me.

the view is amazing from up there! We were there last Spring for the first time in probably more than a decade. My husband went to the top of the mountain while I was in a writing workshop. His photos told the story!

Yes, the view was amazing from up there. The first time we went up. The clouds were low. At one point, we could see that we were above the clouds!
It must be very inspiring to write when you had the writing workshop in Maui. The volcano, the beaches, the local culture, the local life, the sunset. I wouldn’t mind going just for writing!

The rocks, incidentally, are called “a’a” in Hawai’ian. The lava that looks like a cow patty is “pahoehoe.”

Oh, thank you, that’s good to know. I tried to sound out the words when we were in Hawaii. Do you speak Hawai’ian? How interesting that you know so much about the language!
