Had to mail a watch on Thursday from the nearest U.S. Post Office. Not far from there is a great little driftwood beach park ... great for watch pic's.

A local trawler showed up at the same time & cast it's wide net for for the afternoon catch:

When I was sorting my photos for my San Andreas Fault post ( https://www.watchuseek.com/f17/casio-g-shock-nature-878485-105.html#post18250698 ), I found an old SD card in the camera case. Turned out to be photos I took in Hawaii few years back. For the last few weeks, I was pondering whether I should post these, since they're not current photos and was before my new found watch obsession. ;-) In fact, as I remembered I was wearing my former work-horse, a Timex Expedition digital compass watch (T42681). Unfortunately, no wrist shot at all in any of the photos.

But the photos are nothing short of spectacular, so what the heck, here they are.

What you're seeing in the photo below was a town in Hawaii (Big Island) overran by lava flow. The lava destroyed most things in its path, all there remained were some damaged houses (probably burnt to charcoal inside). Luckily, due to the slow rate of the lava flow, the people there were evacuated.

The lava was no longer hot, but nothing grew besides grass, fern, and coconuts. Well I think someone took the coconuts there, so they could grow. ;-)

Some local canines were wandering on the cold lava.

Not far from the flow, yes, a black sand (and rocks) beach, very rough water that day.

Yes, that's an active volcano up on the mountain. Most of the volcanoes there were flat (around the perimeter), so they were mostly hidden in a distance.

Here's the same volcano earlier this year, it's once again very active. Source: Current Conditions - Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
