Big Island & Kilauea B&W | a 7 Image Story The Big Island of Hawaii is a land of sharp contrasts; naturally made for black & while images. Recent news headlines are filled with an erupting Kilauea volcano. These images show a more peaceful Hawaii with Kilauea serenely puffing light smoke into the clouds. What a difference!
A few trees and shrubs accent the almost barren landscape of the nearby active Kilauea volcano. Hiking around Kilauea takes you through lush forests then stark lava flows; all within a few minutes walk. Even at the sea-shore, stark contrasts between the tree and the lava rock characterize a raw wind. The serene beauty underlies a raw, sometimes fiery volcanic wind. A tranquil sea against a beautiful island and stark lava rock; that’s Hawaii, the Big Island. These rocks remind us of days gone by, when the volcanos were active. And, of course, they show us what the future holds as Kilauea erupts, spewing lava rock into the ocean.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Big Island & Kilauea B&W.
