The fluid orange hues evoke the thermodynamic processes of heat diffusion and energetic transformation, representing life energy tilting toward an irreversible increase in entropy.

Taken at 8000 feet up Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. The heart of the Milky Way above and a major eruption centered in the Puna District of Hawaii below. The major glow comes from Fissure #8…some 30 miles away.
