Forces of Creation, Photograph by Heidi Fickinger
“This is the first eruption of Mauna Loa I have witnessed. I have dreamed of seeing the Mauna erupt since moving to Hawai’i Island over 20 years ago. The eruption was the singularly most beautiful event I have seen. Being able to see and photograph Pele’s magnificent display of power and beauty was a spiritual experience. This photo was captured on 11-28-22 at 9:36 pm from Saddle Road” – Heidi
