It's been a bad year, firewise, for so many places, but such fires do make for compelling photos.

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.

Fires are also part of nature... the problem is when it happens close to homes or endanger animals... Regardless, the picture is wonderful.
