Kilauea Volcano Haze...
Vog - smoggy haze caused by the Kilauea volcano on the big island combined with "Kona" weather conditions can be seen in the horizon. Click here for Google map
For some reason I couldn't get into your site yesterday, but glad I tried again today (Wed.) because I would not have wanted to miss this foto. Makes me dream a little!!
Kala boy, it is taking ages to load your blog and it stalls at flickr...the volcanos may be doing this, they should stop smoking, LOL, but the photos are beautiful!
Wow! In the big pic that red-orange spot to the right reminded me of the two sun sunset or sunrise in Star Wars (can't remember which planet or which # movie).
"Several times during the year the trade winds will stop completely and the wind will switch around to come out of the south or west, bringing stormy or hot sticky weather. Islanders sometimes call this "Kona" weather, because kona means leeward or South, and this points to the direction from which these weather systems arrive."
