Description

From my last post, it seemed like it was all bushes from far away. Its tree's and they are falling at the hands of the oncoming lava. Here is a friends that lives in the Kalapana area taking pictures, monitoring and keeping a close eye of the lava. His house is about 3 miles away. Aloha and thank you for viewing.

Wow,it looks as though he's standing right over some lava--this is a very graphic shot of what really goes on around there. 3 miles away doesn't sound too safe!!

He and you are both drawn like a moth to the flame, and we all get to see too!

OMG! I had to do a double take... I had to zoom... I had to reach up and shut my mouth! He's out there in that cracking, collapsing, steaming lava! This is so very exciting! My heart pounds at the possibilities and I can only say he must have a world of knowledge about this situation to be so confident about where he goes.

What a shame the trees are being devoured. That photographer must have tough fireproof soles on his boots.

Oh, those poor, lovely trees! Your friend looks so small, as if the whole could just crush him in an instant with one small burp. Great shot. It certainly evokes emotion from us all. Thanks for the view.
