Maybe one of these days I should climb up the Norfolk pine tree (above) to take some pics!

I remember when I was a kid, about no older than 4 years old, I climbed to the top of one of my 200 foot Norfolk Cook Pine trees, when I got near the top the upper branch I was trying to grab onto snapped, and I started free-falling down through the branches!

Falling through the middle of a tree was one of the scariest moments of my young life, I thought I was gonna die, and remember seeing my short life flash before my eyes as I got bumped and bruised off the branches, like a ping pong ball. Finally I managed to grab one faithful branch with all my might, channeling all the jungle monkey strength I could, I clung to that rubber like tree branch & stopped my fall, it was a close call. If I hadn't grabbed that one lucky branch, I probably wouldn't have survived and be here today to remember. Luckily I didn't even get hurt, I only received a bunch of sap on my palms, some buses here and there, and some scratches on my chest. After that day I realized I wasn't invincible, and never climbed all the way to the top so carelessly again.

Wow! Fantastic sunset! Lovely orange shades full of warm energy!
Luckily you survived the tree climbing test! Very strong wit and survival instinct about you!
You could sit one a big taxi drone near the top of the tree then take photos! 🙀😂

Beautiful. Good capture man. You can't beat a beautiful sunset. I love the ones where the moon is just up and ready to take over.

A quite traumatic experience , well I guess since you say you never go back to the top , besides you were very young 4 years old , the photos are magnificent , the color is strong but pleasant

True... I could climb to the top now that I am an adult, as long as I am careful. The tree in the picture isn't the same one, the one I was climbing was a lot bigger! I forgot to mention that when I was 4 and climbing up to the top I was literally jumping from branch to branch as fast as I could. I thought I was invincible.

True, you would get better Sunrises from Wailuku, the West maui Mountains block the Sunset from there.
