A Rare Day in Hilo!

Anyone who lives in Hilo knows that the town gets a “bum-rap” for its wet weather (ok, there are some exceptions!) While nice weather does abound on Hawaii’s eastern front, today’s sky is a rare sight indeed. Early this afternoon not a single cloud could be spotted in Hilo’s sky, as illustrated by this “fisheye” view from the front of the Gemini Observatory headquarters. Gemini’s Joy Pollard took the shot using a 180-degree fisheye lens at about 1:20pm HST.
