Colorful Skies- Sky over Hawaii's devastated land


Hawaii skywatch at Chain of craters road

The tropical paradise and everyone's dream destination- Hawaii!! Beautiful beaches, live volcanoes , rain forests and heavy rain. Also acres of devastated land of ash and rocks! One afternoon when it was not raining I drove on this Chain-of-craters road only to see the bald, black land with no shade and lots of sulphur dioxide emission.


Black everywhere! It was still beautiful in its own way! I clicked this picture when I saw afternoon clouds accumulating in the sky for a heavy downpour in the later hours. I couldn't go much further as the emission levels were high!

    I've only been to Oahu, but I did see as we flew in for a landing the active lava flows...it's stunning at night with the hot orange-red glow.
    Your image is stunning.

    The clouds are beautiful! I can imagine what you mean - I've seen a burnt forest - it was depressing, but yet it has its own beauty! Thanks for visiting my blog earlier:)

    That must have been a strange looking place.

    Feel free to use the sky blue image as inspiration for words.

    Cheers

    This is why I want to go back to Hawaii ...much more interesting than the typical tourist places.

      There was no one because of the emission. Otherwise too, there was simple acres of devastation and nothing else!

    Nature has its beauty whether it exposes its love or fury. Nice capture.
