It is just heart breaking seeing all the fires this year. Glad you documented it my friend. Be safe.

So sad!

Aww that's terrible news, so much sadness around the world :)

This is a wonderful image that represents the tragedy of the forest fires in the West this summer. I am heartsick over the great losses to our beautiful country.

Oh nooooo!!! :-(

wow , that is amazing , I thought it was fog at first .. I hope they get that put out quickly :)

Out of the ashes will come new growth. But yes to think of the immense span of time that is so quickly snuffed out is a sobering thought

I, too, thought this image showed a timber-lined hillside enveloped in fog . . . but then I saw the brown tinge to it on the left-hand side . . . and knew it had to be smoke. So very tragic. All of those precious trees! It just makes me heartsick!

PRO+

this is an excellent shot, both for the shot itself but also a good Documentary shot.....amazing !

Really sad we keep losing more and more forest. You captured the terrible tragedy to remind us of being better stewards of our planet .. Thanks for sharing
