Haleakala National Park - Hawaii

(I had the honour, and pleasure, of having this shot chosen by Flickr as one among 24 that it used to promote its campaign to prevent the proposed sell-off of public lands - something Congress was considering as part of the ''big beautiful bill'' discussions in June '25. www.flickr.com/photos/flickr/galleries/72157723898355139/

Happily, within a week of the publication of the photos and the related info, the sponsoring Senator (Mike Lee, of Utah) agreed to withdraw his proposal. Kudos to him, and to everyone - notably here on Flickr! - who helped to bring about this result.
