Sunrise from HP

It looks a little like the surface of the moon, doesn't it? A really powerful zoom lense catching the moon as it sets behind a nearby cinder cone. Actually it's the snowy summit of Mauna Loa at sunrise photographed while I was standing just outside the HP dining room at breakfast. Not a bad view while eating your bacon and eggs...

Mauna Loa is to the south, and of course the sun is rising to the east, but it isn't quite high enough to rise above the terrain - the shadows in the sky are quite spectacular though.

Oh, wow, these two photos are spectacular! I especially love the "cathedral light" effect in the bottom one. Do you have it in a large size suitable as wallpaper for a large screen? Please?

Keera - let me know what X x Y resolution you need.

Wonderful! My display has a 1920 x 1200 resolution. Yeah, it's a honker of a display. :-)
