Thanksgiving Night

Here's what we saw from the highway on the way home last night around 9pm after sharing Thanksgiving dinner with ohana over on Kona side.

It's kinda spooky to be so close to such an example of the raw power!



This glow is from the smaller crater -- Halema'umu'u, which is inside of the huge Kilauea crater in Volcano National Park.

Note to mainland friends:  This is not Pu'u O'o -- which is is where lava has been flowing since mid 1980's, but at night, you can also see the glow from it.
