This is the lava, palms and sea just below where we were staying.

The next eight images are nearby patterns in the lava.

Yellow-billed cardinals at Laupahoehoe.  This is an image specially selected for those with red black colour blindness (and they would no doubt wonder why I made the comment).

  1. Wow, the textures in the lava really stand out in monochrome and although I normally prefer colour most of these are still wonderful in it. Love the birds I think they work better this way, more striking perhaps?

  6. These are beautiful the second time around! By the way, (you may know this already), there are two types of lava in Hawai’i; the names are dependent on how the lava was formed. The smoother, “ropey” lava near where you were staying is called pāhoehoe, which is formed during slower flows. The more jagged lava like that in your photo of Laupahoehoe Point is called a‘ā lava, and is formed from more violent eruptions.
