Solstice Lava Flows

Solstice in the flow. We saw the sunrise on the solstice while watching lava pour into the sea. This time, we weren't 600 feet away, or on a boat, we were in the flow (or on top of it at least), viewing creation.
The sun rose and the boiling hot sea spewed water spouts; sometimes several funnel clouds at a time were spinning over the smoking water.
We were reluctant to leave, not only because we were headed home that evening to below zero temperatures and two feet of snow dumped by a Nor'easter blizzard. We kept being drawn back, just one more photo, one more look, one more reminder that this earth is truly a miracle in action.
