Top of the World

This was taken on the "Big Island" of Hawaii. I drove up the Mona Loa Strip Road to an altitude of about 7,500 feet. This vantage point faces east and I was there at dawn, so it was tough to photograph. The east side of the island towards Hilo is a very rainy place and this vantage point looks down over the Hilo area.
