Big Island 2011: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
One of the days during my trip was spent taking the long drive to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. I explored Kilauea — which has no lava flowing at the moment — and also took a guided hike of a rainforest on the slopes of Mauna Loa.
- Black sand beach
- Yet another sea turtle, this time on the black sand beach
- An active spot in Kilauea’s crater
- A closer look
- Looking down the Chain of Craters road toward the ocean
- Almost looks like a selective color shot
- I love all the patterns and textures in lava
- It’s amazing that anything grows in this environment
- So much for this road…
- This area looks even more stark in black & white
- You can hike across this crater if you have a few hours
- Nice photo in the rainforest
- A type of pheasant
- Bird nest
- Cool leaves
- Nettle that doesn’t sting
- Nice texture
- I like the contrast between the tree and the sky
- A very cool tree
- This is a flower on a very rare hibiscus tree
