Description

The air we breathe....VOG or Volcanic smog/volcanic air pollution. Tons and tons of Sulfur dioxide mixed with other gasses as well as ashes are emitted every day from two major vents. Then there are the fissures where lava is coming out and headed towards the ocean. When it hits the ocean, another dangerous plume of clouds develops. When the wind shifts, all the clouds of smoke sits right in our laps. Sulfur dioxide is a very toxin gas. It smells like when you first strike a match stick.....that initial smell. Most times when its thick, they recommend you to stay indoors. So here I am........outdoors taking pictures. Aloha and thank you for viewing

That's gas masks at the ready. Stellar shot of the noxious VOG billowing into the air. My nephew in Hawaii mentions it all the time. I'm sitting here thousands of miles away just choking from the sight of the stuff.
