Mauna Kea Sunset, Island of Hawaii

One of the hi-lites of my time on The Big Island of Hawaii was a trip to the summit of the highest volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, 13,796 foot Mauna Kea ("white mountain" in Hawaiian). Mauna Kea is home to some of the most advanced astronomical telescopes in the world. There are 13 observatories scattered over the summit area. This sunset was photographed near the Subaru observatory. Yes, that's snow in the foreground.
