Looking back at
Hilo
Lava and forest
Lava flowing
into the ocean
I think the
differently colored water here is where the lava is piling up
The shiny
parts are the new, hot lava
We landed at
a B&B which is surrounded on all sides by lava - pretty much the
only thing left
standing in the Royal Gardens subdivision
The road
that goes past his house...
... but
not much farther
The newest
lava here is from October 2008
Our
helicopter and pilot
The one
bit of red lava we saw, peeking out from a lava tube
The Pu'u
O'o Crater - this is where all the recent lava is coming from
A giant
macadamia orchard
The view
of Pu'u O'o Crater from the summit
A view of the
Kilauea crater, from I'm not sure where
If you don't
have a tripod and a camera that can do long exposures, this is about
all you can get (it was much cooler in person)
All sorts of nifty
flowers
Waterfalls
Pink pineapples!
