Haleakala Volcano at Sunrise - Maui
In December 2013, I visited the Dormant Volcano Haleakala on Maui, HI. I didn't have a lens that would capture the entirety of the caldera. Lately, I took up the project of stitching together several shots which I hope capture the wonder of this amazing place.
Haleakalā (/ˌhɑːliˌɑːkəˈlɑː/; Hawaiian: [ˈhɐlɛˈjɐkəˈlaː]), or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains.
The tallest peak of Haleakalā ("house of the sun"), at 10,023 feet (3,055 m), is Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones. (information courtesy of Wikipedia)

I recently visited Maui again and felt as if I needed to get this image developed. I am reasonably happy with the outcome.
