Happy Birthday Kamokuna

The latest ocean entry from Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawai’i, Kamokuna, is celebrating its 1st anniversary on July 26. To congratulate, I thought I would post a timelapse video that I shot during my last visit and a lava bomb photographed from one of the crazy “Lava Boat” tours that take you to the ocean entry from the sea.

Watch the Timelapse video here:

Biscayne National Park

On a boat tour across Biscayne Bay-Card Sound to tiny Boca Chita Key and its ‘decorative’ Lighthouse. A nice half day out that had started with a chilly but wonderful sunrise – do you see the strange reflection of the sun in the enlarged image?
