Photo Friday: 'Black'

Ocean Entry in HawaiiWhen this week's Photo Friday theme ('black') was announced, I thought of lava. The molten lava will turn black, the ocean entry is surrounded by black lava, and it was dark when the picture was taken. I took it with an old Canon PowerShot G1 in Hawaii at the Kilauea ocean entry in late July 2001 (8 sec shutter speed). When I tried playing around with the brightness, the glow from the lava just looked grainy so I left the image unaltered.

In the larger view you can see the flashlight glow of a crazy person that got closer than I was... Seeing this force of nature ranks as one of my most intense experiences!
