Haleakala National Park - Part 2: Sunset and Sunrise

Haleakala Sunset

Haleakala Sunrise

I recorded video of sunrise - 24 minutes. Now I need to figure out, how to downsample it to 2-3 minutes to achieve effect of time lapse.

Haleakala National Park

Truly amazing place! These pictures are from a small 10 km hike along Sliding Sands Trail in Haleakala National Park. Sliding Sands trail from crater to ocean is in my to-do list!

Other pictures from our trip to Maui are coming after tea break.

Northwest Pacific Raptor Center

Last Saturday (almost on the way to Duncan swim meet) we stop at Northwest Pacific Raptor Center. It is a true attraction, very educational and unique photo opportunity. Check their web-site and stop there on your way north up on island to watch their demonstration at 1:30 pm every day. Highly recommended!
