A journey through Haleakala's Caldera. A tapestry so utterly serene and timeless, recalling images of long ago at it beckons hypnotically to those who venture into this caldera. It's as though you are standing on top of the world. There is enchantment here. You can see it in the shadows, you feel it in the caress of a gentle breeze. You hear it in the mysterious sounds that are carried on the wind. It's all around you as you venture into this caldera. Produced and Photographed by "EMMY' award winner Phil G. Giriodi. (25 minutes)
