Description
A little hike along one of the pit craters called Keanakako'i Crater. If you stayed on the trail, you would probably have missed these tree molds. Tree molds are formed when lava surrounds a tree, chills against it, and then drains away. The standing structure left behind is often called a lava tree. Here is a family of lava trees. Aloha and thank you for viewing

Greetings, Glad to see you are still with us. What I like featured in this photograph are the monolithic structures nature has created as art works for her garden and I certainly would not mind having these to decorate my garden. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. egmont
