Douglas - Actually, on my screen that camera looks, now that I've 
looked again, rather like an old Alpa SLR.

The sky is really that color.  So is the sea, except where it's the 
most glorious green on Earth.  Hawaii is a Kodachrome kind of place.

I'd be interested in knowing which of the "pillow-lava" shots worked 
best for you.


Thanks.
