| Keystone Foundation at 14000ft! Cinder cone backdrop |
Stands at 14000ft above sea level. Cold desert, no plants, no animals and very few human beings. Unless they were all inside the Observatories. The Hawaiian silversword, felt like it was made of silver foils read all about them at this link

All the small hills are cinder cones made from the deposit of lava spurting out of the volcano.

Hey anita,
ReplyDeleteGood to see you blogging, and from Hawaii instead of Ktg! Nice pics too. Envy you the clear skies more than the beaches, although one shouldn't complain from Kotagiri. Did you get a peek through the telescope?
:-)
Hi Bala, Know peeking allowed!! Though it would have been wonderful to go up there to see the night sky. For another day!
