Rebirth


One of my first posts from Hawaii, was of a giant lava tube that you could walk through, it was so large.  This is a view of some ferns growing out of a small, fractured lava tube in a huge lava field.  The black behind the ferns is the dark interior of the lava tube.  These tubes can run for long distances, and in some places, when the tubes have cooled, the lava fractures and you can see into the tubes.  But what I love about this photograph is the sense of rebirth - that these ferns can grow on lava that to the eye looks completely inhospitable to any plants at all.
