Description
Day light finally came. We had met those 3 people in the back when it was dark and the guy asked if we knew anything about the lava. My friend said I did so I gave them some advice on safety, just dont step on the hot fresh lava. They followed us here and eventually to the ocean where the lava meets the sea. Anyways, the couple closer to me were posing to have their pictures taken. You can tell the guys is feeling the heat at that distance. You can tell, the girl has no problems ... Aloha and thank you for viewing
PS...Zoom in to feel the heat

I will not try to ever prove this anecdote, but I once heard that if you fall in lava the right way, it'll actually harden around you "flash frozen" by your much, much lower temperature...but it depends on the species of lava as well...but like I said, I won't try to prove or disprove that...I'll just relay it as the thing that popped through my head when I first opened this shot. And what a shot this is! It has drama, heat, action...okay, Lava action, which is a bit deceptive in its slowness. I love the colors, the dark tones and the heated red/orange. This is really awesome in the most real sense of the word...but geological stuff is nothing if not awesome. This is a fantastic shot!
wonderful capture and great POV!!
I never had a problem with the heat of lava. I just love listening to the surface pop and the glass shards tinkle back down. There's something magical about it. Great picture. Mahalo.
Dear friend Errol fantastic capture & scene !!!!
Yeah I can imagine a good set of shoes would pretty much be a must eh! Great shot.
An awesome and beautiful shot Sharky. Stay safe.
another brilliant image!
It's good to see people in this pic to bring home the scale and how it might feel to be there. Thankyou!
Wonderful capture, Errol. I cannot imagine being so close to the lava. Hugs and Aloha. Di. xx
Awesome shot would love to see a shot of it flowing in the ocean just that some of us will never get to view in real life but fantastic catch.
A wonderful shot! :)
a very hot shot! GREAT and very interesting picture!!!!
Another amazing image! : )
The already cooled basaltic blocks look great with that fresh layer oozing through and spilling down in spots. I feel you Errol, maybe a little mention to your co-hikers that you know nothing if asked. After all you did not go to be a tour guide or take on liability for others. Especially 9 times outta 10, they'll follow you round like a lost lamb ;) It does take patience dealing with those that do not belong in such a place. I have acted as guide and even plain out rescued people from wilderness areas. Really there is just one simple rule to follow. If you don't know the terrain or it's dangers, YOU DO NOT BELONG THERE!
stunning image! well done!
I like that you have people in this shot, it gives it scale. I agree with USAnomad, I wondered why they were there if they hadn't a clue. You were drafted to be their angel(not by them but by the powers that be). You are filed with grace~
amazing Errol!
I also would love to see the lava up close but they seem too close for comfort
Sweet POV and scale of the flow with people in the shot. Dana
Some people have to feel the heat to get that rush. just don't feel the fire.:) Love the POV on this to get a perspective of how close crazy people mess with Pele' :)
This is such a sharp, clear shot; not only can I almost feel the heat, the chill of early morning is also apparent. Great foto!!
wow they too close for me. I see one polking the lava back there. cool shot
When someone said to "Stay thirsty my friend" I don't think he had this in mind. ;D Superb POV and capture!
I need just a fraction of that heat here. I love the expressions on their face. Marvelous capture and so nice of you to give advice!
Looks fantastic, inviting and scary at the same time. Love it.
I dont know if I could get that close. This series of photos are way out there Im very impressed with your work Bravo!!!!!!
that's one thing I haven't seen yet in Hawaii, one which I look forward to experiencing up close ... awesome capture ... brings the whole subject matter so much closer!!
the lava looks terrific ind the twilight! must be very hot in this distance and the guy looks scary! ;o)
