This was a shot taken last night (8-15) of a fire that started on the east benches in Utah County. I guess several homes were consumed, and more of the area was evacuated when I was up there. Typical fire that the dry summer brings.
Cropped, resized, and sharpened.

The purple stuff... that would be fire. Very wide range of temperatures in that fire up there, and the colors they created were just amazing.
Edit-
Also, I wasn't really that close the fire. I was maybe a 1/4 mile away at closest, and upwind of a relatively small fire. There are a few trees you can pick out for some size comparison. One of the easier ones is next to that hot spot just right of the pole at the very bottom.
Wow -- that's dramatic! I'll be curious to read the details on this one. I'm assuming you made it out alive since you posted the picture :) I do wish you would have posted at the full 640 pixels wide here.
i'd love it if this shot were quite a bit bigger. Not sure what resolution you shoot in, but I shoot a high resolution, then crop then reduce the longest side to 640 so you get the same crop but the photo is larger.
