Taken from Haleakale volcano on Maui.......  02:30 start, and a 90 minute drive to the top, sat in a soft top jeep in shorts (long shorts) and a sweater, as it was 6degC.  Thank goodness for the car heater......  Still once the golden orb showed.....  it was worth EVERY shivery minute.

Beautiful - it must have been magical to be taking those photos from where you were and experiencing this wonderful sunrise.  90 minutes drive up WOW how high is it?
