Description No Kai Oi is Hawaiian for: This is the best or the greatest. The word Haleakala translates house of the sun.


After seeing the sun rise from below the clouds while standing 10,000 feet in the air on top of the the Haleakala volcano..........I must say....... No Kai Oi.

It was a stunning vision, watching the jet black sky and the vivid stars twinkling over head. Truly amazing as we stood 10k foot high, in the 38' air.

Then the house of the sun welcomed the sunrise just after 6 am. The sun slipped out from beneath the clouds to reveal its magic.

Known around the world as one of the best sunrises you will ever see, I will have to say its something worthy of your life list aka Bucket list. [link]

@@PHOTO DETAILS:
Photo shot in raw using my Canon 40D & my 1.8 50mm portrait lens. This is not a photo manip including the lens flare &light beams.

Slight RAW edits including: White balance setting/picture style, increased sharpness, added 1+ to color saturation and converted to JPEG. Updated Contrast Brightness then cropped.

The photo was taken of sunrise over Haleakala volcano on the Hawaiian Island of Maui.

Why is there yin-yang in the middle of the photo?

ZenAkita In reply to SilverNightTrain [2010-01-03 07:20:36 +0000 UTC]

All my photos have them as a tounge in cheek water mark. The prints for sale do NOT have any watermark or yin yang.

Did you have a thought about it or just curious.

SilverNightTrain In reply to ZenAkita [2010-01-15 09:48:46 +0000 UTC]

Just curious. Hm, actually I like when artists make art even in little things - it's quite original for a watermark!
