Panorama by @babaktafreshi Swipe left to see this 3-panel view of a mountain shadow at the moment of sunrise. From here on the 4200m high (13800ft) peak of Mauna Kea I felt I was on the top of the world, being the highest point in Hawaii and the entire Pacific Ocean. Sacred to the native culture, Maunakea is also home to a world-leading observatory. @natgeocreative @natgeo #hawaii #bigisland #maunakea #panorama #sunrise
