Hiking Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island was an otherworldly experience. Landscapes that looked like martianscapes, the occasional plant growth that seemed from the same planet. And then the emergence of giant orbs of interplanetary observance over the crest of the summit hills. And when the sun sets the Universe lights are switched on for a rare perspective on where the Earth fits in.

I captured some of those sights here in classic color and the seemingly apropos infra red.
