 I took this picture in 1985, from a friends plane when I lived in Hawaii. The fountaining was reported to be 1,300 ft. that night. |
 This shot was taken out the side window. I only got one shot this way. When I opened the window to shoot, it was like opening an oven door. |
 We almost crashed that night, because we started to fly completely around the fountain. As we flew into the down-wind side, we started to hear a soft tick, like that of rain starting to fall on an awning. Soon the ticks became thumps. By the time we figured out it was rocks and debris flying out from the fountain, we had to put our heads down and make a HARD, TIGHT turn to keep the windshield from being knocked in. |
 Legend has it that you can see the Goddess Pele sometimes in the fountaining ..... Look carefully now! |
