Night Lava Flow

Photo taken from boat at night as lava flows in to the Pacific off the coast of Hawaii. NOTE: A one stop soft GND filter was applied to the left and right of the lava to bring out some of the shadows that were visible at night; even though they are not pronounced they do add to the awe of the lava flow that we saw that evening.
