My recent trip to Hawaii provided me with the perfect shot for this weeks Daily Post Challenge of Elemental. Earth, air, fire, and water are all there, but you can’t tell that the air is not exactly the best for you from this shot. I probably could have gotten a little closer if this hadn’t been the downwind side. I was fortunate to grab a couple shots before retreating to cooler non-toxic air. In full size images enlarged on my screen, I can see the distortion from the heat.

The best part was that it was mostly sunny the whole time out there, and those clouds showed up just before sunset. Never felt a drop of rain that evening. Thank you very much for your comments!

This is a terrific shot! Dynamic elements here – that lava looks ferocious. Bet it was an adrenaline enriched experience being so close. Love the sky and rainbow.

This was my second time out to the lava flows on this trip…because the first was such an adrenaline rush. I wanted to see a different perspective on the flows, which I got when those clouds (and rainbow) moved in. Still an adrenaline rush. Thank you very much!

Very good – and all in one picture. I had to resort to a plethora.

Thank you, Stephen! I was a little bit lucky on the timing of this theme, as this is a very recent image. I think I would have taken a collage route otherwise.

Desert living has not prepared me in any way for the intense heat coming from the lava flows. Thank you, Marie. 🙂
