Big Island, February, 2019

Returned to my second (third?) home after a six year hiatus. It was a mistake to be gone so long. Interesting views of Kilauea post-eruption 2018.

Lava-locked
This house survived, although the lava literally went up to the front door. But there's no way to get to it without hiking through the lava...

The famous Akaka Falls
It was pouring and this was the best I could do. Next time I'll bring a cover for the camera to shoot properly in the rain.
