Big Island on-site & real time molten lava reports - Local surf & weather- and other cool stuff -- Presented ad-free: BLOG RETIRED for now
Thursday, November 2, 2023
For those of you that arrive on this website and wonder what I am up to, thanks for visiting! I am well - living and filming nature in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. You can find many of my nature video shorts on my YouTube channel
Before retiring this blog my intentions for it were:
I love sharing what is happening here on the Big Island, especially the on-going lava flow and reporting on serious changes in the weather and surf conditions. When I am on-the-ball I offer daily reports (less often during stagnant or non-event times) of these and other Big Island events.

HanaHou! - the Hawaiian Airlines inflight magazine, published an article on Jack Thompson's life and challenges as the last man standing when the lava finally takes his home. This was in their August/September 2012 edition. They have a condensed version on their WEBSITE. My photos are featured. The photos used in my account of events that day
If you have some time or the interest, Kim McMillon, a host on 'Arts In The Valley' (website linked here) is also a California AM radio station that did an interview with me covering questions about my lava videography & photography, Kilauea history and of my involvement with Jack Thompson and the story of his home lost to lava. The segment is about twenty minutes long:The Interview on mp3
