Maui – Haleakala

Maui - Haleakala

 

It’s an amazing view when you reached the summit of the monster mountain, which summit was like the bottom of an inverted cone situated in the center of an awful cosmic pit.  The heaven-towering horizon, where the top of the mountain should have been, was a deeper deep, the great crater, the House of the Sun…  The camera cannot do justice.  Also words are a vain thing.  Haleakala has a message of beauty and wonder for the human soul that cannot be delivered by proxy. -  Jack London ● The House of the Sun
