Description

Depending on the winds, the Big Island can sometimes experience high levels of volcanic haze locally called "vog" (volcanic fog). This morning was exceptionally calm after several days of the same conditions with elevated volcanic activity on the other side of the island. I have worked this photograph to bring out the tree line but the sun was as it looks in this image. Ethereal is the word that comes to mind as a description of the feeling as it was witnessed....
Photographed on the Kona upper road just outside of Waimea.
