Similar to above image, but with more light to give view of pali. Near top right corner, fume rises from east-side lobe of main Mother's Day flow. Dark flow on pali in upper center is old west lobe of Kohola; lighter gray flow on pali in upper left is newer west lobe, the one that cascaded down Holei Pali last week.
