Description
As we descend from Mauna Ulu, we see in the far distance the Pu'u O'o crater sending a mass amount of clouds in the air called VOG (Volcano Pollution-volcano fog). Pu'u O'o had sent much lava to the ocean in the past where much of our lava hike was from. But for the moment, it only gasses. In this image, the unusual wind conditions were sending the VOG towards the Mountain View area where Lady Carrie lives. The Vog does affect her as well as many of the residence around that area. The Mountain View Elementary School had kept the kids inside with doors and windows closed because of the high levels of sulfur dioxide emission into the air. Trade-winds were expected and hopefully it cleared the VOG, sending it towards the ocean. Just beyond Pu'u O'o are the newly formed fissures (elongated cracks on the slopes of the volcano) erupting and sending new lava towards the town of Pahoa about 8 to 10 miles away. There is no immediate danger as the lava is moving very slowly. We are keeping a careful watch on the lava movement as Dave aka Punaguy lives in that direction. Stay safe my friend. Aloha and thank you for viewing.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Wonderful shot! I saw some lava nearly this black recently just 8 or 9 hours from home!
Thanks for the kind thoughts...I have my fingers crossed in hopes the lava will veer away from my subdivision. Maybe I should stop mowing my yard just in case? Nice shot from here Sharky! Aloha~
