Big Island of Hawai'i
Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanos National Park, along the rim. These shots are of and around the Kilauea Caldera (essentially the flattened cap on the top of the volcano). The smoke is coming out of the Halema'uma'u Crater. The red flowers are Lehua blossoms on 'Ohi'a trees which are plentiful in the park.
(Were you expecting there'd be lava? That doesn't come out here; it flows underground and comes out by the ocean, as seen in this post.)
