VN #051: Hawaii – Volcanic Art

Hawaii – Volcanic Art
The Chain of Craters Road.
In Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park is a 19-mile road that drops 3,700 ft. to a newly created volcanic landscape along the ocean. These lava flows are just over 25 years old, and to get a real sense of them, we stopped at several places along the way. Here are a few images of the shapes and patterns that helped us imagine the flows when they were still molten and alive.
Rita and I would take short walks over these thought-provoking landscapes. I made images as I went.
Looking into the late afternoon light brought out the textures and patterns.
Different flows had different colours, patterns, and textures.

What was once a moving force, is now a still life. To photograph the earths primal patterns was a powerful experience.
