All:

I have replaced one shot, with two more pix from the "Controlled Burn", which took place, yesterday. The burn, for the first while, was anything but controlled, for a large section of grasslands, which they expected to take 2 hours to burn, went up, in flames, in just over 12 minutes! Kept them really busy, for a while!

In both these shots, the day was considerably more overcast, and dull. In the woods, sufficient exposure was needed, to handle the smoke and dull light, that the highlights were blown, rather badly. However, as they were in the flames, I think it works, rather well.

The last shot, shows the foresters, with nature's fire truck at their side... snow.

BTW: the chap in the first two shots, wearing the red jacket, is the "fire boss", Hugh Murdoch. Proving, once again, that "Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent forest fires"..... ;-)

Thanks for looking.  C&C appreciated, as always.

Cheers!
