Description
Searching for Lava: My original intention this morning was to see if there was a glow of another lava flow entering the sea. This lava flow is different from my original post "Lava Enters the Sea". At 5:00 am, you could see the lava glow. Taking pictures in the dark is something else I need to work on. When day light came, I started to head for the huge steam where lava enters the sea. As I got closer to the flow, the patrol helicopter hovered above me with their PA warning: "Absolutely no going to the shore line". I heeded their warning and headed more inland. Another hiker had told me before I started is to look for the heat waves and I may see lava. Its really hard to see the red lava flow in the day but I'm standing over that heat wave and its burning right under me (lava flow). That light gray lava just in front of me is not hard lava rock. It was slowly oozing out. I'll show a close up of the red lava tomorrow. Aloha and thank you for viewing

Beautiful composition! Surreal and almost otherworldly; symmetrical and textured. Well done and bloody well be careful; the world is not so well stocked with good photographers that we can afford to lose one!

An infra-red camera would reveal the heat! Would be great to feel that radiation, but computer screens don't do that! Excellent capture, it looks so special!
