Watch out Sheila! Impressive. We have been very lucky this year, but we have a lot of that too usually.

The green at their feet may be their saviour...this time.

Wow! What a dramtic capture. I hope you stayed safe. As Scott, says it does lead to regrowth and I suppose is all part of nature's cycle.

We have our own "Summer fire prevention scheme". 12 months of rain.

Scary, dramatic capture.

A timely reminder for the season that's just started down under - hope you weren't
threatened by this one Sheila, or too much damage done before it was brought
under control..
shatterbug07-Dec-2008 07:20
That's quite a blaze to be that close to...hope there wasn't too much damage, or loss of life..
Bryan Murahashi07-Dec-2008 07:01
Very dramatic capture. Hope all is well here.
mathilda williams07-Dec-2008 05:35
excellent capture, hope all under control now and with minimum damage to property.
J. Scott Coile07-Dec-2008 05:12
They are so hard to watch. The cost is often personal and immeasurable. The process of regeneration that follows is always quite amazing and starkly beautiful.
Phillip Normanton07-Dec-2008 04:48
Yikes, that looks scary!

Excellent shot. Unfortunately such fires are all too common here.

This must be so scary to see, let alone be threatened by it.
