We have had a few like this in readiness for the Summer heat, I just wish we'd have had a few more!! This is a much better sight in the cooler months. You certainly have caught the size of it well, good work=^..^= #11394403

We just had a forest fire in the Adirondacks this year caused by a careless camper, burned about 80 acres before they got it under control. Great job of capturing the scene John. #11394410

Hope you fire seaason goes better than ours. Ours is over now- but we were really bad this year. #11394565

Excellent capture, but not something I'd care to see so close to home, John. Wish California would do more controlled burns. We've been fortunate so far this year not to have some massive fire lately, but all it takes is a lightning bolt or an arsonist....Good luck to you Down Under. #11394598

Enjoy your summer, but stay safe my friend. We had a pretty good summer, but probably cold and wet by your standards. 25c and up and a lot of Canucks start complaining about the heat, lol... #11395146
