Description
A portion of Haleakala National Park, South Shore of Maui, accessible via the Hana Highway, with whitecap waves and teal blue water crashing against black lava rocks from nearby Haleakala volcano. No sandy beach here. Just black volcanic rock, and lots of it.
One of the bays in the shadow of the now-dormant volcano Haleakala, centerpiece of Maui's Haleakala National Park. Many tourists call the screwpine trees pictured here pineapple trees, for that's what they resemble. Hence the myth, our guide explained, that pineapples grow on trees.
Spectacular clear-blue sky, crystal-clear water, and white-cap waves crashing against the dark-brown lava rock from nearby Haleakala Volcano.
Please note: This image makes a nice greeting card and is available (in this gallery) with the words "You Rock!" The watermark, if visible, will not appear on your purchased artwork.
