Silversword (Argyroxiphium sandwicense macrocephalum) growing near the summit of Haleakala volcano, south Maui.
Looking northward across the churchyard of St. John's Catholic Church toward the south-facing slope of Haleakala volcano, near Kaupo, south Maui. My trusty Toyota waits just outside the churchyard near an incongruous squeaky metal turnstile. To my way of thinking, this is an appropriately awe-inspiring setting for a humble parish church.
The southern slopes of Haleakala volcano (the rim of the summit basin is visible in the center of the photo, just above the cloud bank) are the awesome backdrop for St. John's Catholic Church near Kaupo on the Pi'ilani Highway, south Maui. This image is a composite of five separate photographs of the ridgeline that forms the volcano's south rim.
A composite image of the southern flanks of Haleakala volcano extending down to Huakini Bay, south Maui. This image is made up of eight separate photos "stitched" together to form a single image that could only have been shot as a single photo using a wide-angle lens (which would have imposed a good deal of distortion). The summit of Haleakala volcano can be seen at the far right of the photo, extending above the bank of clouds obscuring the lower part of the slope. Best viewed in the ORIGINAL mode (mouse-over the image and click on "Original" in the pop-up menu).

The view (from Kalahaku Overlook) of the western rim of Haleakala's crater and two cinder cones located in the summit basin below the rim. The multicolored ash deposits and darker lava flows mark the most recent volcanic activity with Haleakala's summit basin.
