Volcano Natioanal Park: Kilauea

[TATTRAT]

Was a VERY drab and miserable day on the Big Island this day, but here are a few. To some, it isn't much to look at, I personally liked the stark beauty of it all. Very lunar, which I assume is why they trained the original Apollo astronauts here.

***For those wanting to see flowing lava, not here. After an earthquake a few years back it shifted the whole flow. The only way to see running lava there is via helicopter***

Oh and I think there is a really cool HDR calling out to you.

Thanks for looking, and commenting!

Wow Tat. Like I said in another thread, you have one hell of a backyard to play in. I love it!

 

[ScottS]

Do you have PS TAT?

 

[TATTRAT]

yup, and I have toyed with it, but I think I need a Photoshop for dummies book or something. I have tried some of the online sites/tutorials, but it is a p.i.t.a. flipping back and forth.

Also have gimp.

Nice shots Tat.

Curious if that is a sacrament in #2.

Exactly, Madame Paelae likes her gifts, lol.

Actually, that is the only thing there now, the park service put a stop to all the people leaving there offerings. Ended up being quite a eye sore, as well as attracting some unsavory animals.

Very nice! Hoping to go there in spring 2009

if on the Big island, it is not to be missed! Very humbling.
