Mauna Kea pu’us

Signs of old volcanic activity on Mauna Kea.

Another post on the WordPress photo challenge theme of ‘serene.’

To me this Mauna Kea scene, of an empty landscape in early evening light backed by pillow-like clouds, is quite serene. But is it really? Those fluffy clouds could contain the kind of turbulence that throws airplanes around, and the pu’us are evidence of volcanic eruptions in the past. Still, it does look serene.

      Thanks. The top of Mauna Kea is quite otherworldly with the volcanic features and the telescopes. I love going up there – cold though!
