When we went out walking the other morning, we bumped into a neighbor-friend who told us that his cousin had sent some amazing pictures he'd taken at Mauna Loa on the Big Island.

And indeed, when he showed a photo to us on his cellphone, we were amazed. He said it was of Madame Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire and volcanoes.

And then there's this one.
Do you see her?
Now, I don't want you to think I'm a skeptic, but I also know what can be done with Photoshop.
Still, you'll never see me take a lava rock home from the Big Island because that could cause you EXTREME bad luck.
I'm not wanting to scare anybody... but heed the warning if you're ever on the Big Island. 😳
I see her in both pictures. I'm not a superstitious person though. I can see shapes in clouds up in the sky too.
ReplyDeleteImpressive photos, but I am still looking for Jesus on toast. 😇
ReplyDeleteBahahhahaaaaaaaaa. That tickled my funny bone. Yes. I can see the figures, but I'm a cloud watcher too.
DeleteYes I can and I’m also a cloud spotter.
ReplyDeleteAnvilcloud gave me a chuckle here, but the photos are still beautiful! Kay, for all the traffic and tourism you guys have to contend with, you still live in a mystical place...
ReplyDeleteKay, I had a hard time making a comment. For some reason the "comments" didn't show either. But finally was able to do it.
ReplyDeleteIt's the weirdest thing. I've tried to comment on other blogs and depending on which computer I'm using (tablet, laptop or desktop) it will sometimes prevent me from leaving a comment. Leaving a comment on Wordpress blogs often give me a lot of problems.
DeleteI will respect that prohibition.
ReplyDeleteAny relation to the famous late football player, PELE?
ReplyDeleteAgree not to take any rocks home
ReplyDeleteReally cool photos. Yep, I believe in the spirits of the Hawaiian gods. They seemed to have served the Hawaiians of long ago, and the native Hawaiians responded correctly, or endured their wrath. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteOh... I'm cautious too. I remember telling the kids to dust off their shoes of any lava dust before coming into the car after visiting the volcanoes.
DeleteI can see her too! No rocks for us, plus I think it's illegal, isn't it? That's what my late husband said when my younger daughter wanted to bring some home.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. When I was in Hawaii I made sure that I visited lava flows from a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteI see her, too. I see plenty of beings in the clouds all the time. And I will remember your warning if I ever get to Hawaii. :-)
ReplyDeleteLin Floyd says wow, that's scary!
ReplyDeleteMy brother actually believes he saw her dancing in the fountains of lava years ago. I like to think he did.
ReplyDeleteI've had several friends through the years tell me of encounters with Pele or Hawaiian spirits so you never know.
DeletePele or no, those photos of the fire are amazing.
ReplyDeleteDon't mess with Pele!
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Madame Pele has made a remarkable appearance, as shown in these photos. Let her do what she will, and just stay out of the way.
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing photos! Rather fun, like finding shapes and animals in clouds.
ReplyDeleteThat was a good show!
ReplyDeleteIncredible photographs. I don't think I'd risk Madame Pele's wrath, either.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots.
ReplyDeleteWow 🌋
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, we never take rocks home. In fact I had a crystal on a chain that "mysteriously" fell off into the sea off while I was snorkeling off the big Island. I always thought it liked Hawaii better than Washington. :-)
