Agashi with Afterglow | Ala Moana Beach Park, Honolulu HI

Most Hawaii afterglows are brief and pale. However, once in a moon the conditions are just right—volcanic eruption or massive cane field burn off—and the particles in the atmosphere diffuse and color the last rays of the sun into a wondrous display. This one was due to the 1991 Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines.
