Thank you for the comment!

Fires certainly are a real and increasing problem. Well processed.

Yep - your country and mine, all seasons. Gee, I wonder what's causing that (addressed to deniers here and elsewhere).

When my dad was still alive (died 2009) he could not believe the massive forest explosions he was seeing on TV and it's gotten worse every year since then. He was a logger in his early years and working fires was part of the job. They were put out within a few hours with a bunch of loggers with shovels, a CAT dozer and grader. No official firefighting crew was called - there were few of those and certainly no one was called in from other states and even countries! He would be dumbfounded to see that whole towns burn down, now, with people running through the woods for their lives. He changed work in the 1960s.

You have made a beautiful picture from a sad event Diane.

Thank you, Rosa - didn't think of a title to match the image until I saw the news online.

Dramatic stuff in that link Diane............so sad that people had to die..!! I can't imagine what those poor people are going through.

Cracking abstract image..!!

According to tonight's news, hundreds of homes were burned, 7 people killed and more unaccounted-for. Thousands still not allowed in the vicinity, whether their houses burned or not. The kind of event we have in common with Australia, I'm afraid. This time it was in a fairly well-populated area.

Thanks, Keith.

What a dreadful thing to happen.

It was. The pictures of people arriving, finally, at their blackened property are so sad.
