Sunrise casts soft light on Mauna Kea and the town of Waimea, as seen from Kohala Mountain Road.

I miss being on the Big Island, and seeing Mauna Kea from various parts of the island. Thanks for the visual reminder!

Glad you stopped by. I too find myself looking to Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualali, depending on where I am on the island. The first two had snow last time I looked!

Hi, Graham. With a number of visits to the Big Island, it became easier to use the various mountains from various perspectives around the island to “ground” my location. It’s amazing I didn’t run rental cars off the road when I was constantly straining my neck to stare at the peaks, especially if they had snow up top. 😅

Yes, I too have to remind myself to look at the road now and then.
