Drive Down Magic Mountain

Whew!  After we got back in the Jeep and sat there for just a few minutes, thawing, we took off for what I thought would be a typical, anticlimactic drive down the mountain.  After all, what could even come close to seeing both the super blue blood moon and a great Haleakala sunrise?  Things began to look rather unlike any drive down a mountain that I’ve ever seen pretty quickly…..

Morning on the Mountain

Abstract Morning

Then, as we continued to drive, the warm light from the sunrise began to play with the mountain and clouds…..

Clouds upon Clouds upon Mountain

Dramatic Lighting

Then, I thought the moon was done putting on its show for the morning, but it decided to get into the act with the mountains, clouds and sunrise colors!

Show’s Not Over

Colors of Nature

Enjoy!

Halloween Sunset & Moon Rising

It was Halloween, and we were enjoying a fire, a sunset & a moon rising!  Take a look!

Miki & the Fire pit

Miki always enjoys a campfire – she’s especially concerned about the sparks!  She watches so that none escape from the fire pit!

Sunset behind the Organ Mountains

The sunset this evening was spectacular and we got a front-row seat for it, right in front of the fire pit!

Halloween Moon Rising

And, when I turned my back to the sunset, I saw the moon rising up over the mountains that surrounded our campsite!

Enjoy!
