Photo: Young, bundled up visitors take in the sunrise at Haleakala on a chilly February morning.

One of the many shots I took on our first sunrise visit to the Haleakala summit on Maui.

It was an amazing experience to say the least, and totally lived up to all the hype I had psyched myself up for.

I might be able to revisit Haleakala for the sunrise part of the Maui Photo Festival in two weeks, and should the opportunity present itself, I’m definitely going back.
