Haleakalā ("house of the sun")

When my brother visits the US with his family, the first destination is usually Hawaii. This time around, I decided to join his vacation on the island of Maui. We took a day trip to the Haleakala volcano. After a 2 hour drive through fog and clouds, we reached the 10,023 ft (3,055 m) peak. Luckily, there was a break in the clouds over the volcano and I got the opportunity to snap a few pictures.

Sugar Refinery

The Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar refinery, one of the two refineries left in Hawaii is located in Puunene, Maui. It has been functioning since 1882. Would love to have done a tour of it, but unfortunately, none are available.

Maui coastline

The Maui coastline varies every mile. I tried to capture the nice contrast between the ocean blues and the soil reds.
