Maui, No Ka Oi
by kudbegud

That means Maui is the best. Also known as the Valley Isle, Maui is made up of two joined volcanoes with the majority of the population living in the valley formed between them. This picture was taken from the top of Haleakala, at 10,000 feet, looking toward the West Maui Mountains. The main commercial and government centers of Wailuku and Kahului are to the right. Maalaea to the left and south of there Kihei where I live. At the bottom of the picture is the area of Kula, also know as upcountry. I don't think I will ever leave.

You went to the top of Haleakala to take this shot? What some people will do for an STF Challenge!!! ;-) As a former "local girl" from Oahu, I must say this is a beautiful shot and makes me a bit homesick. I can almost feel those tradewinds... Linda
