Yep. The Big Island is a photographer's dream. Hotel I stayed at was good enough for any and all social life (I was with my pretty lady...what more could I need?), but the landscape and scenery on the Big Island is unreal. The north beach, with the massive cliffs is breathtaking. I have pics from right smack dab in the middle of volcano Kilauea, complete with steam coming out of crevices. Mauna Loa spilling volcano into the ocean near Hilo. Huge sea turtles hanging out on a black lava beach
