The Glow

The glow of fissure 8 has become a staple in the night sky for many. On a clear night I can see the glow from street almost 30 miles away. Photographs of the fissures and lava river are all over the internet. I couldn’t help but venture a little closer to the glow. Like a moth, I felt its draw. So one night I drove to Pahoa to see what I could see. The rain clouds could only dim the light. Even with all of the rain, the glow was magnificent.



Of course I can not take credit for the photo of the glow from Mauna Kea. The credit goes of one of the many great photographers documenting the flow. I only wish I could remember which one…
