Moon light Magma

It's not everyday you get to watch the full moon rise over the ocean with a lava flow in the foreground. You can see a lot more lava than this photo suggests. A tripod would have served me well.

It's a pretty good flow going into the ocean right now and you only have to walk about 200 yards from the end of Chain of Craters Road to get a view. Bring binocluars or plan to hike a couple miles to get a better view. There is also a lot of lava coming down the pali, more than I have ever seen.
