Description

Sulfur Rocks. Hold on to your nose because it does smell like rotten eggs. The yellowish color rocks are the sulfur. Luck was with us on this trip as the wind was blowing in the other direction. If you will notice, some of the plants around this sulfur bank are nice and green? They seem to strive around this sulfur bank. Aloha and thank you for viewing

Amazing shot!!! It's always interesting to me how many plants can live, in what we might think, to be an unlivable situation, and yet somehow they flourish!! Thanks for the info and beautiful photo!!!!

Sheila, Yes some of the rocks are hot. Also, the plants in front are several types. Metrosideros polymorpha (Hawaiian: ohia) Vaccinium reticulatum (Hawaiian: `ohelo) and some fern. The little tree in the middle will grow such as the larger tree's in the back ground. Those are Ohi'a trees and are great for firewood. They do have a beautiful red flower called Lehua flower. Aloha

Sometimes we miss the smells on a computer but here it's definitely an advantage! Wonderful to see how in nature plants can take advantage where others die!
