Description
The air we breathe....VOG or Volcanic smog/volcanic air pollution. Tons and tons of Sulfur dioxide mixed with other gasses as well as ashes are emitted every day from two major vents. Then there are the fissures where lava is coming out and headed towards the ocean. When it hits the ocean, another dangerous plume of clouds develops. When the wind shifts, all the clouds of smoke sits right in our laps. Sulfur dioxide is a very toxin gas. It smells like when you first strike a match stick.....that initial smell. Most times when its thick, they recommend you to stay indoors. So here I am........outdoors taking pictures. Aloha and thank you for viewing

awesome vista Errol. if we do not go out and take chances then who will see natures wonders
Wow, looks like something out of a sciFi movie. Great colors and pov. Aloha
Thank goodness the plume is blowing the other way....gets quite noxious otherwise...nice shot and view from this POV. Maika'i!
Great shot! It reminds me of the movie King Kong.
I've heard about the VOG~~pretty nasty stuff. Guess there's always something out there waiting to get us. This looks like a scene from a horror movie, the vapor rising from the swamp--great foto!!
Stay upwind, my friend. You don't want to breathe very much of that stuff, for sure. Great job of naturally framing this plume; excellent shot.
You must be glad that the trade winds blow all of that out to sea? Great capture!
:-) I love your spunk. I admire spunk in people. This is a great shot. Wonderful view!
...ja - übererall auf der Welt das Gleiche. Keiner nimmt Rücksicht auf die Natur - und wir atmen das auch noch ein. Trotzdem: Wunderbare Aufnahme!
Such an awesome image! Great capture!
Fantastic photo.
It makes for an awesome image, but certainly not healthy. Great photo!
amazing mood
A stunning image! I hope wind change doesn't happen too often
awesome capture !!
Hope you wear a mask sometimes. Powerful photo. It gives a real sense of the mightiness of it all.
Oh boy this is real stuff what you show here Errol. Hope you well protected while you out there. Thanks to share this wonderful view with someting what nature doing time to time.
absolutely fabulous!!!
Fantastic!!! Excellent and magnificent capture.
You guys are so brave living so close to active volcanoes... Guess Hawaii is not for sissies!!! :) Stunning capture! Aloha. :)
A very primordial image... Total coolness once again my brave friend~! =)
Awesome view, and interesting dialog, had no idea that warnings would be given for something like this. Down on the coast, areas around certain refineries smell like rotten eggs, and that's just life down there. This does certainly look menacing!
Wow - that's totally amazing! And you certainly found the perfect place to stand. Great composition!
Superb image and composition.
A wonderully wild image Errol. You stay safe out there. Aloha. Diane.
Greetings, Just by looking one certainly does not know about the smell, for if we take the image just at ace value then i would way it is a magical place to be. However knowing about the toxicity I wonder how safe it really is. Thank you for sharing. egmont
Excellent capture; glad to see the smoke going in the other direction!
be careful, because it is dangerous, but on the other hand you showed us the way it is......very impressive
great find !
excellent opportune capture errol but be careful my friend :o) mick
