Recently I visited Mt. Mauna Kea and took this picture at sunset above the clouds! They make you stop to acclimate half way up, and I couldn't wait to get to the top to start taking pictures. It was 80 degrees (F) at the base and 35 (F) with a wind advisory at the top. So if you ever go, bring warm clothes! A couple Fun facts: Most of the mountain is under water, and when measured from its oceanic base, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world measuring over 10,000 m. The 4,200 meter high summit of Maunakea in Hawaii houses the world's largest observatory for optical, infrared, and submillimeter astronomy (University of Hawaii). Hawaii has 4 out of 5 major climate zones in the world (8 out of 13 sub climate zones)! #maunakea #maunakeamountain #observatory #maunakeaobservatory #telescopes #astronomicalobservatory #astronomyphotography #astronomy #sunset #Hawaii #bigisland #sony #nikon #travel #adventure #nightphotography #coolpicture @astronomypicturesdaily @maunakea.summit.adventures (at Mauna Kea Observatories) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwM6YmLJIXy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=356xyto4tmbr
