Writ in Black Lava

From Kona International Airport to Waikoloa on Highway 19, part of the Hawaii Belt Road that winds all around the Big Island. On one side of the road you see black lava and the ocean, on the other, black lava and the mountains. Visitors create graffiti on the jagged black surface using white coral rocks -- mostly names, inane messages, and the occasional jarring RIP.

Big Blue Cliche

Waikoloa, Big Island, Hawaii.

All beautiful oceans look more or less the same in photos, but still I'm compelled to add some more.

The same can be said for ocean sunsets.
