Wonderful work here Chris! Your images are more graphic that the ones they used on the TV news! #10812470

Fire is always a disturbing sight for me, Chris.
But on an image like this it's pretty fascinating! GREAT job capturing and framing it. #10812814

Very dramatic scene, Chris. I like the additional one, too! #10816214

Fine captures and framing, Chris. California is battling some major fires of its own right now. Sad days for so many who have lost their homes. #10816520

Thanks for the comments. Mary, I hope we have a lot of pre-fire season burn offs over here this Summer before we have fires like the one in Yosemite National Park. #10822718

Gosh this is terrible looking, but a great idea to keep the more worse types of fire away! Great timing, Chris!

Thanks Laura, today there's a bigger one on the opposite side of the river & it is very windy today, glad I'm not out fighting it. Thanks for taking the time to look through my gallery. #10854662

Thanks Tammy. We've had a few really bad fires in the last 2 weeks, some deliberately lit..... #10890172
