A morning view of Pu'u O'Mahana cinder cone which overlooks Green Sands (Papakolea) beach in the Ka'u district on the southeast coast of Hawaii. I liked the moon setting in the background and the contrast between the harsh landscape and the blue sky and ocean...
One of my favorite photos, this was shot at the end of the Road-to-the-Sea in the Manuka Natural Area Preserve on the southwest coast of Hawaii. The moon is seen rising over Na Pu'u a Pele cinder cone with the sky reflected in a fresh water pond formed in the jagged A'a lava.
Full moon rising over the Hawaiian Heiau at the summit of Mauna Kea. Big Island Hawaii, January 2009.
