Yep, it's lava

Posted by Doug (Long Beach, United States) on 24 October 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

This is the lava flowing from underground into the Pacific Ocean at the southern part of the Big Island of Hawai'i. Unfortunately the viewing area was about 3/4 mile from the actual flow, but it was still a magnificent sight.

The full sequence of shots can be seen here.

Thanks for stopping by. Any comments are highly appreciated. I may not always reply, but I will visit your page (eventually). Keep shooting.

More of my photos can be seen on Doug's other photo mission.


One of my photos was used as the cover of a book. Details can be found here.
