  • The orange sun sets behind Hualalai (8271 feet elevation) seen from Mauna Kea's Sunset Hill. Hualalai is the westernmost and third-youngest of the five shield volcanoes that form the island of Hawaii. Hualalai rose above sea level about 300,000 years ago. Last erupted in 1801, Hualalai is still active and may erupt again within the next century, which will be a rude shock to the town of Kailua-Kona built on its flanks. For colorful sunset views of the Saddle Road region, walk 1 mile round trip (160 ft gain) to the cinder cone of Pu'u Kalepeamoa, or Sunset Hill, from the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station at 9200 ft elevation. About a million years old and last erupted 6000 to 4000 years ago, Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, USA. Mauna Kea stands 13,800 feet above sea level and is the highest point in the state of Hawaii. Measured from its base on the ocean floor, it rises over 33,000 ft, significantly greater than the elevation of Mount Everest above sea level. Paving ends at the Visitor Info Station, and four-wheel drive is recommended to reach the top, where Mauna Kea summit's dry, clear, stable air makes one of the world's best sites for astronomy. This image was stitched from multiple overlapping images.

  • Sunset illuminates sandstone and houseboats at sunset on Lake Powell, which is impounded by Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River on the Utah and Arizona border, USA. Lake Powell is the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869. The dam generates electrical power, controls flooding, and provides water recreation, at the cost of various environmental changes.

For colorful sunset views of the Saddle Road region, walk 1 mile round trip (160 ft gain) to the cinder cone of Pu'u Kalepeamoa, or Sunset Hill, from the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station at 9200 ft elevation.

Paving ends at the Visitor Info Station, and four-wheel drive is recommended to reach the top, where Mauna Kea summit's dry, clear, stable air makes one of the world's best sites for astronomy. Since the road created access in 1964, 13 telescopes funded by 11 countries have been built at the summit. In a tour de force of early science, expert seafaring and astronomy skills allowed far-flung Polynesians to discover and settle Hawaii around 300-600 AD. Ironically, from 2013-2016, plans for a wondrous Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea attracted protests by Native Hawaiian groups who cited cultural/religious/political grievances, and the project was sadly postponed. The TMT could potentially look across space and time to the first stars that ever shone in the universe, over 13 billion years ago (and would energize the local economy).

Paving ends at the Visitor Info Station, and four-wheel drive is recommended to reach the top, where Mauna Kea summit's dry, clear, stable air makes one of the world's best sites for astronomy.

  • Rays of twilight fade from orange to dark blue behind Hualalai volcano seen by a silhouetted person on Mauna Kea's Sunset Hill. Hualalai (8271 feet elevation) is the westernmost and third-youngest of the five shield volcanoes that form the Big Island of Hawaii. Hualalai rose above sea level about 300,000 years ago. Last erupted in 1801, Hualalai is still active and may erupt again within the next century, which will be a rude shock to the town of Kailua-Kona built on its flanks. For colorful sunset views of the Saddle Road region, walk 1 mile round trip (160 ft gain) to the cinder cone of Pu'u Kalepeamoa, or Sunset Hill, from the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station at 9200 ft elevation.

Ironically, from 2013-2016, plans for a wondrous Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea attracted protests by Native Hawaiian groups who cited cultural/religious/political grievances, and the project was postponed. The TMT could potentially look across space and time to the first stars that ever shone in the universe, over 13 billion years ago (and would energize the local economy).

  • Sunset on the Swiss national flag seen from Berghotel Faulhorn, in Switzerland, the Alps, Europe. From Grindelwald, we took the First gondola to Bort, then hiked via First to Berghotel Faulhorn (6 miles with 3650 feet ascent, 130 ft descent) to stay for an impressive sunset and sunrise. (Or save effort by starting at First instead of Bort.) Berghotel Faulhorn was built in 1830, one of the oldest mountain hotels in the Alps. Earplugs are recommended for sleeping, as the old walls are thin. Perched on a remote precipice, Berghotel Faulhorn has flush toilets, but no drinking-water supply, nor guest showers. To save money, carry extra liters of drinking water from Grindelwald. In 2022, Berghotel Faulhorn charged 4 CHF per liter for hikers' tea, and 12 CHF per 1.5-liter bottle of drinking water. The hut's roof-gathered water is undrinkable (and our squeeze-filter didn't remove the bad taste). For personal hygiene, cold water is provided in the dormitory washroom, and the private rooms have nostalgic water jugs and bowls.

  • The last orange light of sunset highlights turbulent clouds over the finely crafted Inca walls of Sacsayhuaman (Saqsaywaman), a "Royal House of the Sun" built on a hill above Cuzco (Cusco or Qosqo), in Peru, South America. Cuzco was the site of the historic capital of the Inca Empire from the 1200s to 1532 and was honored on the World Heritage List in 1983 by UNESCO. Francisco Pizarro officially founded Spanish Cuzco in 1534. Cuzco is the longest continuously occupied city in the Americas and is built upon the foundations of the Incas (at 3400 meters or 11,200 feet elevation). The natural light sunset was captured on Fujichrome Velvia film. Licensed by National Geographic Maps in 2008 for a Geotourism Map of Peru's Sacred Valley.

  • Sunset shines on red sandstone rock formations at Devils Garden Campground, Arches National Park, Moab, Utah, USA. A thick underground salt bed underlies the creation of the park's many arches, spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins, and eroded monoliths. Some 300 million years ago, a sea flowed into the area and eventually evaporated to create the salt bed up to thousands of feet thick. Over millions of years, the salt bed was covered with debris eroded from the Uncompahgre Uplift to the northeast. During the Early Jurassic (about 210 million years ago) desert conditions deposited the vast Navajo Sandstone. On top of that, about 140 million years ago, the Entrada Sandstone was deposited from stream and windblown sediments. Later, over 5000 feet (1500 m) of younger sediments were deposited and then mostly worn away, leaving the park's arches eroded mostly within the Entrada formation.

  • At Carhenge, 29-year-old Canadian Geoff Sandhurst sculpted this spawning salmon, seen at sunset. Carhenge replicates England's Stonehenge using vintage American automobiles, near Alliance, Nebraska, in the High Plains region, USA. After studying Stonehenge in England, years later, Jim Reinders recreated the physical size and placement of Stonehenge's standing stones in summer 1987, helped by 35 family members. Reinders said, "It took a lot of blood, sweat, and beers." Carhenge was built as a memorial to Reinders' father. 39 automobiles were arranged in the same proportions as Stonehenge with the circle measuring a slightly smaller 96 feet (29m) in diameter. Some autos are held upright in pits five feet deep, trunk end down, while other cars are placed to form the arches and welded in place. All are covered with gray spray paint. The heel stone is a 1962 Cadillac. Reinders donated Carhenge to the Friends of Carhenge, who gifted it to the Citizens of Alliance in 2013.
