Yesterday I posted here about revisiting Pohoiki, also known as Isaac Hale Beach Park. Today, in response to this week’s Sunday Stills challenge on the theme of ‘Fire,’ (more responses here) I’m posting a couple more photos from that visit. Being perverse, I’ve chosen photos with no fire in them.
The top photo shows where the flow from the 2018 Kilauea eruption came to a halt, in the park’s picnic area. It has swallowed up one of the picnic tables, as well as some surrounding trees. What I find interesting about this is that neither the table, nor the trees, caught fire. I think this is because, by this time, the supply of lava had already stopped reaching the extremities of the flow and, consequently, those areas had already cooled considerably to below the temperature needed to cause combustion.
The bottom photo has a simpler, fire-related appeal. It could easily be captioned, ‘the barbecue pit meets the mother of all barbecues.’

Interesting photos. Like I said, Volcanos!

And, oops, I forgot to mention the irony of the BBQ pit, you clever guy, you!

When I saw it, it made me laugh. The proximity was so striking.

Not that perverse, Graham, weren’t these rocks living fire as they escaped the Earth’s crust? Sad to see the devastation but how else is a land mass born? Always appreciate your participation and support of Sunday Stills!!
