Foto Friday: Mees Was Here


Here's the Mees Solar Observatory playing "Kilroy was here".

It looks kind of like a moon rising. That was one of those mornings where it certainly would have been worth it to get up at oh-dark-30, bundle up, and drive 90 minutes to the watch the sun rise on Haleakala. Unfortunately, it's hard to know in advance which mornings those are going to be.

It's getting harder to find a picture I haven't already posted! I need to scan in some non-Hawaii.

Foto Friday: Kahoolawe


I wish I had this in black and white, but all I have is this pesky color. (And, no, desaturating it isn't the same thing.)

Kahoolawe from Maui, Oct 2009


This was taken from somewhere near Ulupalakua, on the south side of Haleakala. The little speck of black in the ocean is Molokini.

I took this because, well, I was there. I think it must have been taken with the 17mm lens. I didn't think it would come out very well, because of the angle of the sun. But I kind of like it anyway. Needs more clouds, though.
