Lava Light

I had an epic hike over the lava flows at Kalapana Hawaii with my friend Bruce Omori today. Man oh man what a hike. At one point we were walking on a crust under which was still hot glowing through the cracks red hot lava. The heat was pretty intense.

 

As we walked out across the black lava field it rained on us once or twice but cleared up quickly showing an awesome Milky Way overhead. It was quite magical. We made it to the ocean entry just before sunrise which allowed us to get set up before the good light came. It was totally dark when we arrived.
