Puna, Hilo and Mauna Kea slide show

Paul - there are hundreds of tourists on the summit each night and they all watch the sunset to the west - rightly so because it's stunning. Most of them miss an even more stunning view to the east (IMHO) which is the shadow of MK. Given the right conditions (e.g., some clouds) the shadow can be the most spectacular part of the sunset but when there's some high cirrus around the colours in the sky to the west are unbelievable.

I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures!
