Another Smoky Scene

La Veta, Colorado

Tonight is hot and dry; the sky is filled with smoke from the West Fork Complex wildfires. Authorities say that it is impossible to bring that fire under any kind of control because so many pines were weakened by drought and then killed by beetles.

sad about the fires but you took one terrific photo of it.

A dramatic shot, wild fires like this cause so much destruction, and it will take many years for recovery to happen

You sure you didn't time-travel back to Mt. Sinai when Moses was getting the Commandments?

The fire has certainly strengthened the sunset and enabled you to capture a fantastic image, although I do hope such scenes will only be those of the past.
