Sliding sand

Location
Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii
Note
Hiking and taking pictures along the sliding sand trail is challenging because the elevation is over 1000 ft. Holding the camera steady in a windy condition is difficult.

Equipment
Nikon CoolPix 5000
Note
The summit reaches the level of clouds. It is expected that cloudy conditions prevail during midday. The best time to take a clear picture of the mountains is before mid-morning, when the valley is free of clouds. The above photo does not contain much artistic merit because it just looks like a postcard. I posted it here to let you have a grand view of the mountains.
