Description
Most times after returning from a long days hike in the lava fields, I'll close my eyes to rest or sleep. My vision of the lava doesn't go away just yet. I still see the lava movement, the dangers, the holes, the fragile ground collapse beneath me, trees burning, a'a lava, pahoehoe lava, smoke, slipping/falling and everything around me for that day. Its like going fishing on a boat all day, coming back and the ground is still rocking. Well, this last of my series puts me to ease. While hiking and walking up the Pali, viewing the lava flow at Royal Gardens, a reflection of light far away from me was blinding my eyes, as if a mirror was reflecting the Sun. I had to move a distance till the light wasn't blinding me and I could see a little but just couldn't make out what it really was. I thought it was part of a mirror or something. Curious, I got closer to it and here it is. It just reminded me of the movie Moses....and this was the Ten Commandments yet to be written. Aloha and thank you for viewing

Cool! I like the fingers wrapping around it!
Your vision is vivid and well documented in your photo. I often wonder what it must be like to spend a day in the lava beds... you made it very clear. I can relate.
Awesome capture.. Really neat looking image Glad your feet are on firmer ground Hugs Susan~
Wonderful vision, your journeys are so vivid and beautiful.
I think the commandments have faded... Fascinating shot!
The Ten Commandments! You are a new Moses, then! Exceptional capture! :)
cool find & title
Excellent vision and pic. The time of capture is perfect with the light.
a great shot !!
Excellent illustration! Aloha Lior
The Lord used fire to write it down for moses. so too here He used fire to make this. wonderful find
You are right! It looks like the famous board with the Ten Commandments! fantastic picture!!!
Wonderful series of images and this one puts them to rest, for what it is, very peaceful look!
Yes, amazing find. What a great photo. Well done.
so unreal and outstanding find Errol
good title for this.... you ever hear of "sink holes".... I've seen some cars end up in them from the moving water underground, I can only imagine there has to be sink holes from the moving lava.... unless you like the soot on you when you sleep, I'd find a new place to nap - lol Cool picture... Moses says hi.
Wow...This is really cool. Great capture!
Wild! Excellent shot! (:
What a great connection you've made between once molten lava and the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments. You've seen well and made a very special scene for us! Great job.
Cool shot of hard lava...dod you get some picture of the small tsunami in Hawaii ?
Potrebbe veramente rappresentare le grandi tavole dei Comandamenti . Stupenda foto!
A grand connection indeed! Your narrative is compelling and perfectly captures the uniqueness of this image. I'm guessing you had one of those rare moments of total connection with the universe, clarity of mind and purpose. A capture to inspire reflective thought.
LMAO. Is one of them "You shall burn your ass trying to read these ten commandments"? Simply amazing what you find Errol. Just don't drop one of the tablets carrying them down:)...
Astonishing! I do so enjoy your treks!
Awesome natural "art" :)
Great capture!
Thank you for telling us what it is like for you to be there and in that moment. Love the shot! I am so amazed at the texture captured. It has such a wonderful sheen and color. And yes, it does remind me of the scene in "Moses" too. Well done!
Incredible!
Great shot and compelling story. What a rare moment. Thanks for sharing.
you must felt yourself as Moses seeing the broken commandments! a fantastic and outstanding impression! ;o)
