First glimpse of the place where the lava meets the ocean. Unlike the previous trip two weeks ago, with all the stops to take photos of the lava rock forms, (see previous volcano trip blog entry), this time we hoofed it out as fast as we could go to the rope boundary line set out by the volcano National Park Forest Service crew. With a late start, we were not assured of getting there before dark, and it is clever hiking over the bumpy lava flow.
Closer.
Sweet! The glow of flames is visible 2/3 of the way out to the farthest viewing point.
It's a race to get as close as possible, before it gets too dark to take photos, so Local Tourist keeps taking them along the trek out to the Forest Service Boundary.
Glow really starting to show. Finally in as close as we are legally allowed to go tonight.
More flames showing up here.
They are all so beautiful, each, once more than the last. You can see the flames in different places in each photo, so here's another one.
And another.
OK, last one. So cool, so hot. So uniquely Hawaii.
