North Shore Maui
This photograph was taken looking south from the north shore of West Maui. (Is that confusing?) West Maui is the older of the two volcanic mountains. The other volcanic mountain is Haleakala.

Banyan Tree in Lahaina
The Banyan Tree (Ficus benghalensis) is a type of fig tree. Typically, the seed sprouts on a host plant that is eventually enveloped and strangled. The banyan eventually grows aerial roots that hang to the ground, taking root and forming what look like a grove of trees. However, it is actually one interconnected system of prop roots around the initial trunk.
