A final post based on the theme of this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge, which is ‘Silence.’
Unless the wind is howling, the top of Mauna Kea is a quiet place. The immensity of the volcano below and the sky above seems to swallow all sound. There’s no wildlife up there, just a few visitors wandering about, and telescopes silently probing space.
At sunset, the quiet is enhanced, despite an influx of people for the event. Perhaps it’s the dimming light or the muffling layer of billowy clouds around the volcano, but there’s a profound silence and a tranquility not easily found elsewhere.

Very nice. Sort of reminded me of Easter Island.

Thanks. Another other-worldly place, so I see the connection.

Wow, amazing shot. A place we wanted to visit but couldn’t fit it all in. But we were able to see a glimpse of this from our B & B lanai in Hilo. Stunning!

Next time perhaps. It’s well worth it I think. There’s an other-worldly feel to the place.
