Description
This is also on the Saddle Road** on the way to Hilo. We were just about at the peak, nearly 14,000'. I saw how the fog had formed itself over this mountain and had to get out to take a few shots. Wow--was that a wake up call. We'd left Kona at about 5 am, and it was raining, still about 75 degrees. I got out of the car, and it was blowing--HARD--and maybe 44 degrees. Brisk, to say the least!!

I always love going up the mountain side. A feeling of power being above the clouds. The view from on top of Mauna Kea is an even more powerful and awesome feeling. Next time, you will have to go up there. Nice shot. Aloha

Super cool shot...no pun intended there, Marilyn. A few more degrees downward and you could have seen snow...there is some of that stuff in tropical Hawaii!!!

A stellar capture of what looks like an approaching sand storm, even though it's at 14,000 feet, Maz! Good color contrast between the surface and the blue sky. Things don't get much better than this.

WOW! This is amazing! It definitely doesn't look like something from chicago. It looks ominous in a way. It is a little spooky, because the haze is such a different color from the crisp, blue sky. Great work.

I looked over Corey's shoulder when he was commenting on this, and now I get to comment! WOW. This IS amazing. It looks so otherworldly, but then, I'd say something like that, wouldn't I? This is a fantastic shot! I love the way it almost looks like an approaching dust storm, or like that "burglar alarm system on Mars" as portrayed in the movie Mission to Mars. It was a fun movie. I love the ominous haze of this, the dome shape! Great work, and a favorite!

This is a super cool capture. Who would ever think that they would ever see a desert sandstorm in Hawaii. Well seen - well captured. Dana

lol Corey, "it definitely doesn't look like something from chicago". I hope not! Maybe Chicago before it was a city, and during a duststorm from far west (sometimes they do make their way into Chicago...). This is almost an 'abstract', with rolls & sweeps of hue & blur & defined areas & lines rolling over each other. The fog & mountain make a beautiful abstract, and the trees on the right give definition to the fog...and lots of sky too: You know how powerful the sky is: You're not afraid to let it dominate. Here, it tries to dominate, but that beautiful earthen-toned watercolor fog/mountain (I know, it's a photograph, just give me the fantasy) really does wonders to the sky. Lovely shot, and more power from your inner eye.
