In the wake of fire

[Runmonty]

Over the last couple of months, throughout Australia we have been having unprecedented bush-fires .

In the Adelaide Hills (approx 20 minutes from my home) we had fires blazing up until just before Christmas Day. Although the fires continue in the Eastern states, and on Kangaroo Island (a couple of hundred kilometers from me), the fires in my immediate vicinity have been put out.

Today I went for drive through the areas affected. It is amazing that the eucalyptus leaves have turned golden after being burnt, and when using a polarising filter give an amazing contrast against the blue sky. It almost looks like infrared colour photography.

There are a few more on my Flickr page
