James' Photos

  • Kristina, Matt and I leaving from Orange County airport to the Big Island
  • Us overlooking Kilauea Iki, the small crater from the eruption in 1974
  • The center of the crater had very sparse but beautiful vegetation.
  • Hiking out of the crater.
  • Here we're walking towards where the lava flow hits the water. This shot would have worked better if you could see the steam in the background more clearly.
  • What happens when lava meets road signs.
  • Intricacies of air meeting molten magma. Say it slowly, like Dr. Evil: maag-ma.
  • When molten lava meets the ocean.
  • Matt and Kristina pause for a moment at the Hilton hotel. We didn't actually stay at the Hilton. Just visiting.
  • Driving towards Kona, this is what the sky looks like at about 6:15 in the evening.

From my vacation to Kona, Hawai'i in February of 2006.
