Description
Kilauea Iki had erupted in 1959 sending lava to the air to heights of about 1,900 ft. It was like a red/orange sunset all over with a roar of a freight train. The lake was large filled with red lava. It was warm from the distance where I'm taking this picture from. It was beautiful and yet scary at that time. I would know. I was there at that time. Well here I am again and taking a hike into the crater with Lady Carrie. Aloha and thank you for viewing

Wow! Interesting landscape, the green area contrasts with the rocky foreground. Sounds like 1959 was a very scary time!
Wow thats such a cool place and shot.

Awesome, Errol, these volcano shots are simply spectacular. You really give a graphic sense of how it is!!
That is sulfer I see, isn't it... We were just up there a couple months ago. Didn't hike though. Nice shot. Aloha
1959, you must have been a wee lad about then eh??????? I think I'll start calling you Brave Errol, since Brave Terry's not around ok??? Beautiful shot!!!!!!
look like a little snow the white stuff is? I know this bring back memorys and now you here and can walk on it.
I love seeing the lava and learning the history of the area. Thank you for teaching us about your wonderful land.
Amazing scene! Look forward to the rest of this hike. :)
Surely a spectacular vista... I can imagine that black rock turned in a fiercy glowing red. Amazing!
Excellent picture on this singular landscape ! Good day :)
mmmmm 1959 that's the year I am born !! Wonderful view and such a gorgeous place and mood
Amazing shot! You're right to be nervous. Tread softly and let Pele' sleep bra. Watch your footing and check next steps with walking stick. You know the drill. Great pics. Wish I was there. :)
Fantastic capture and excellent photography as always - Wow what a scary tale, I cannot imagine what it must be like surrounded by these pototential devastating dangers!!! Thank you for sharing your story and your photography - hugs Jane xx
"into the crater"..... wow!!!!!! How awesome is that?!?! Great shot, Errol!
Wonderful POV for the capture and such an intense description... I wonder if this was your first trip back? Anyhow, excellent photo!
Incredible Vista, Errol and a superb shot. I am enjoying this hike with you and lady Carrie. Aloha. Diane.xx
Excellent picture. Looks like the foliage is making its way back, I am amazed anything would grow in lava stone. Be careful! Todd
Excellent photo, and I love the story. Nice!
PumaWalkingSoftly...I have been here many a times after but never in the crater itself. Thanks for asking. Aloha
There is nothing more exciting to me than seeing the inside of the earth - especially when I don't have to go inside to see it. This is great!
excellent shot !! very impressionnant !!
Fantastic!!!
Great POV for this marvelous landscape!
Mother Earth, always in a state of flux, erupts again. Terrific textures and contrast in this capture of what looks like a mountain of tar against the blue sky.
An excellent picture and interesting story!
Excellent shot of this impressive landscape!
A rich, and highly evocative image! I love the blend of moods that is emitted from this...... can be so dangerous, yet so tranquil when dormant. That sense of "living on the edge" I find to be intriguing and mystifying. Your capture of detail and texture is absolutely phenomenal! And what a sky! Bravo! This is an amazing composition!
beautiful and impressive landscape !
