]]>This photo was taken during a 3 day photo tour with Tom and Bruce from Extreme Exposure on the Big Island of Hawaii.
We started our trip to the lava fields at 1.30am and hiked for several hours over the rocks so we could shoot the lava at sunrise.
However, since the Japan earthquake, the lava flow has slowed down enormously (you could say it has nearly stopped) and therefore we had to really search for lava breakouts.
When we finally found a spot I was lucky to frame this one - often the heat haze makes the rock appear not sharp and also the rock could be start moving and expelling lava.

]]>After a 3hr walk throughout the night, we finally spotted some small lava flows in the Volcano National Park.

Hope you like it.

]]>On the summit of Mauna Kea, an extinct volcano on the Island of Hawaii, you can see awesome sunsets! Due to the high altitude of the summit (4,205 m or 13,796 ft), we had to acclimatise at the excellent visitor centre - I was certainly feeling the effects of the altitude.
Up on the summit, the temperatures were freezing below 0 deg C and with a strong wind of 50km/h adding to the chill. It was tough to move about with camera and tripod, gasping for air, but I was lucky that my lenses didn't fog up.
The altitude and isolation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean makes Mauna Kea one of the best locations on earth for ground-based astronomy. In total there are 12 telescopes at or around the summit of Mauna Kea from countries such as USA, Canada, France, UK, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Japan and Australia!

]]>The Waipio Valley is often referred to as the "Valley of the Kings" because it was once the home to many of the rulers of Hawaii. The valley has both historical and cultural importance to the Hawaiian people.
According to oral histories as few as 4000 or as many as 10,000 people lived in Waipi'o during the times before the arrival of Captain Cook in 1778. Waipi'o was the most fertile and productive valley on the Big Island of Hawaii.
A severe deluge in 1979 covered the valley from side to side in four feet of water. Today only about 50 people live in the Waipio Valley. These are taro farmers, fishermen and others who are reluctant to leave their simple lifestyle.
