It's been a bad year, firewise, for so many places, but such fires do make for compelling photos. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: June 18, 2011 Comments: 1149

Thank you all for your comments. Its the end of the dry season here and there are numerous wildfires. The fire brigade responds only when there is a threat to property and human life. The fires in the bush just burn out. It is really unfortunate for the wildlife. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: March 24, 2010 Comments: 64

Fires are also part of nature... the problem is when it happens close to homes or endanger animals... Regardless, the picture is wonderful. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: December 23, 2004 Comments: 233
