Plenty Keawe
On the backside of Haleakalā lies Kaupō, a rugged and remote area that feels like a world of its own. It is also home to a place called Plenty Keawe, where the landscape is stark and desolate, unlike anything else on Maui.
Not much grows in this harsh terrain, yet there is a unique beauty in its emptiness. The bare, twisted trees stand like sculptures against the sky, making for a striking scene—especially in monochrome photography, where their forms and textures become even more dramatic. Kaupō’s raw, untamed landscape is a reminder of nature’s resilience and quiet power.
