[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For this week’s theme. Fire is one of mans best friends, uncontrolled it creates devastation. This sort of sight is not uncommon in Australia, flames dance in bush lands like the devils fingers killing all that it touches.
Local residence watched this sight approach their homes, creating great anxiety. In this case they were lucky, it was a controlled back-burn carried out by fire authorities. Despite the night sky glowing orange and flames shooting upwards, you will notice that the tree canopies remain untouched, this indiating things are going to plan.

Months later the bush is reborn with, green, shooting from charred remains.

Hi Peter,
I am glad thats controlled as it sure don't look like it, a very dramatic shot, and a great entry to the theme.
Well done

Hello Peter

An awesome capture here of this frightening situation. Good image with superb colour tonal changes and excellent detail. interesting notes too

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Wow it looks like a huge fire, something I've not heard of in a while here. I like the darkness of the trees against the bright orange. Very nicely seen, TFS.
