Description
On Wednesday, I went back up Mauna Kea to complete a hike on the Humuula trail which I had failed before. At that time, I ran "Out of Water" and had to turn back. In that post, I had said..."I'll be back another day." This time, I brought more than enough water to complete the hike. Seems like many who passed this rock painted their names on it and around it. As for me, I left some money behind that big rock, a gift for the spirits. The clouds and wind had move in and the trail continues beyond the rock. The larger rocks will absorb a lot of heat from the sunrays.....providing enough warmth for my hands when needed. Aloha and thank you for viewing.

Wow, Errol, Mauna Kea, that's an awesome hike!!! I remember seeing the snow on top of it when I flew into Kona, when everyone else was looking at Maui. The spirits will be pleased!!
wow my friend them legs of yours certainly cover some distance ,great shot mick
So interesting to go on this hike with you. I feel like I am there too. I had very little idea about your landscape before your posts and it's great to learn as well as enjoy your photos.
excellent you must be very fit to climb those mountains.
I'm sure you painted "Shaka Bra" on the rock. :0)
Super A gift for the spirits or the next hiker on the trail?
That's quite a hike! I'm impressed!
wonderful capture..the colors and textures are beautiful.... And what a hike very impressive...
Wonderful story. I like you left the spirit money. You do think of things...
Such a cool story and shot.
Beautiful and interesting image!!!
And your gift insures your calm weather on your next excursion right?? Good idea Errol!!!!! cool shot!!!! anticipating more... Aloha...
Oh very interesting and perfect POV my friend!
Intresting indeed Wish I had your stamina to hike like that... Excellent capture Hugs Susan~
super looking
"I'll be back" is the famous term uttered by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie, THE TERMINATOR (1984). Great POV, clarity and textures, but unfortunate lack of shadows in this capture. Very good otherwise!
Glad you got a chance to get back.
EXCELLENT SHOT, DEAR FRIEND !!!!!
lol@goodoleboy. Sometimes the shadows can be a problem.. I like the over cast days best minimizing the shadow problems. Some of my best shots are in the early morning I think. My opinion anyway... Aloha
Shadows can be scary shivvers (xfiles) This is a terrific shot and I'm still always in awe that you can travel such distances. The spirits have been kind and have blessed you a good deal! hugs Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!!!
hello just to say hello lov the pic atmo is unique momentum
Great shot Errol, like a colors of the stone and a vivid colored letters pops out.
My knees are very sympathetic, my friend. I'm glad you made it all the way this time, and you know you can't have too much water.
Happily I have a little time to return back to your gallery to see what I didnt get time to watch at before!
A cool gesture to let a little bit to the spirits of the place, you know that I'm sensible to that!
And a fantastic shot of this place!
great expression in this shot! and the imagination of spirits fits to the moody fog behind! oh oh, no water! know that situation! remember a very very steep hike in switzerland, could not carry more water with me and at halfe the way all my bit water was gone! but I could not turn back, it was to far, so I talked loud to myself the whole way further up: " must die, I cannot go on, I must die.....and this again and again! lol but I made it alife and on top the mountain I hold feet into icy water to kill a bit of the thirst! ;o)
Glad you made it :)
