shadows on Haleakala

(Haleakala volcano, Maui, June, 2009)

These photos were taken at 6:30 a.m. after viewing the sunrise. Shadows are long at 10,000 feet. The bottom photo was taken 15 minutes after the middle one. You can already see the difference.

Between insects, animals, and cactus, you never know what kind of critters you'll meet in the desert! I always wear sturdy hiking boots.
