Fire and water - we usually treasure them but when out of control, they fill us with fear. Amazing capture... #10521479John Connolly January 18, 2013
A wonderful graphic series of images Brett! It wasn't the greatest day to be out fighting bush fires yesterday! #10521826Ann Coates January 22, 2013
What an amazing shot. We had a lot of coverage of the fires in the news over here. We are also having our own issues with fires here too. Firefighters are fighting a big fire on the outskirts o our city right now. #10528654Renee Doyle January 23, 2013
