Kīlauea put on a show this weekend ❤️🔥❤️🔥
We drove up to the volcano at 3am, not knowing if the volcano would go off or not…
By noon, double lava fountains grew taller than the Empire State Building, reaching 1,575 feet. Absolutely insane.
I’d been dreaming of photographing an erupting volcano for a long time. Safe to say this was far beyond my expectation.
By 1pm, the park and highway was closed. It was an insane amount of debris so everyone had to evacuate the park.
So special getting to see the power of Mother Nature up close and sharing the moment with my dad and stepmom.
Mahalo Pele!
