What were you doing at 5:50 am this morning (for me long before before sunrise in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park)? I was watching the Mount Kilauea Volcano erupt! This was one of the most awe inspiring sights of my life. As Molly (my wife) and I reached the overlook on foot seeing the eruption / lava field for the first time, we were both speechless. I watched for a long time with my binoculars before taking my first photograph. We stayed till five minutes after sunrise. While dawn was beautiful, light definitely subdued the vision.
