Blood Sun

Amazing intense colour - I like the shots (but not the cause of them) Stay safe

Thanks RM ... I should mention that we now live right in the city away from any bush so we are safe here.

Reminds me too much of this summer, though it looks like it's worse there. The area stank of smoke for weeks. Intense color, though.

Yeh they are saying it's the worst we've seen in the past 100 yrs apparently.
-
The colours are wild - sorry to hear about all those fires. Last shot is my fave of the set.

Very cool looking sun, and captured very well MA.
Unfortunately have had first hand experience with this also. Very unnerving not knowing where, or when the next fire would be, and could not go outside for the choking smoke. We had 5 bush fires with 100,000 acres burning near us last summer.
Stay safe MA.

Cool, dig it big time. Very well done, MA, 2 and 3 are my favs

Thanks Matt and HBG :)
They've just issued a warning for the Blue Mts ... my destination next Sunday with my parents, although that's looking unlikely now. A 300 km (186 mi) wide fire storm is approaching that area and the weather is likely to make it worse. This one might burn all the way into Sydney itself.
Thankfully I've never been in the path of a bush fire, but I have seen them. Eucalypts burn with a ferocity like no other, shooting flames across highways at will with a rush of noise that would scare Chuck Norris. Yesterday we had to drive an hour or so south and drive right through some of the areas hit over the past few days. There are still choppers with the water bombing baskets flying around, fire trucks everywhere, scenes such as a burn out service station (Gas Station over there?) on the side of the road. We also saw where the fire had got right up to peoples homes or businesses and was stopped! Much of it still smoulders away of course. Nasty stuff.
