Kilauea Volcano Eruption Photos, August 2008
Richard's grandson Kapono Pa recently took these photos of Kilauea Volcano, which is erupting magnificently these days and dramatically fountaining its lava into the ocean near Kalapana.
Amazing photos, Kapono! Wow.
The pictures really speak for themselves.
Well, except for this next one. Do you see the face in the right hand photo?
He was down there at sunset, which is a powerful time to experience the eruption.
Very impressive. The eruption and the photographer both.

Damon:
One of my protographer friends said; "the gods must be with him because not every shot turns out like that". I know exactly what you mean; "Chicken Skin".

Could I have your permission to use one of the photos in a presentation I'm preparing for a conference on environmental sources of mercury. The photo is kalapana_11.jpg. Please advise. Thanks
