Rosy view of some cascades and lava flow on beach at Kohola ocean entry. Photo taken from vantage point farther west than that used for first image yesterday; that point was near site of nearest cascade. Width of covered beach is 30-50 meters.
Photo taken from same place as image to left, but in daylight. Photographer works near point of nearest cascade in left image, which stopped flowing just after left image was taken. Photographer is at site of most of yesterday's images.
Photographer on top of sea cliff engrossed in lava cascade while small flow breaks out nearby. Small surface breakouts are common in this flow above the cliff.
