OMG .. this is FANTASTIC ... what a brilliant and emotive image ..
we have the fear of bush fires where i live .. every summer .. more so now as we have had a drought .. seeing this i think of the ppl who have lost their lives and their homes .. the animals who die in the conflagration ..
this might have just been burning off .. but it is very powerful none the less .. i love it .. :)
At first I thought I was looking at mist, but then I realized it was a smoldering fire. How poignant, with that leaning stone and what I'm assuming is a firefighter in the background. Well captured.
There is an element of mystery that captivates my eye as I observe the scene you present. Smoke hangs in the air and a bit of flame burning on the dried vegetation. Two stones blocks, the one leaning on the other for support, convey a sense of loss while standing against the erosive elements. Is it all that survived the burn? And the figure off in the distance - is he/she a survivor of the fire that took their home or is it a firefighter seeking to put out the flames? Unknown - there is a story here and one that would be interesting to hear.
