Hawaii Photos

Here are a few photos from Hawaii. It was pretty windy the day we went to Volcanoes National Park, as you can see in the photo of Lori.


This next picture shows ropey and pillow lava together.


Later that day we went to see the lava flow. The lava flow is outside the park and access is controlled by the county of Hawaii. They are very conservative, so we couldn't get very close -- about a mile away. Sunset or night time is the best time to actually see more than the steam cloud. We went to the flow at sunset, hoping to get a nice sunset and some good lava shots.

The sunset was fair. Fortunately, there seemed to be a lot of lava activity. The huge steam cloud is constantly changing, but often looks like heads and faces. It was definitely worthwhile, but could have been even better if we could have gotten a bit closer.
