Is Never Forgotten
I think this picture speaks for itself, but in case you haven’t been following the news in Colorado, we are witnessing a wildfire that has (as of this writing) destroyed at least 93 buildings (homes and other structures), spread across more than 7,000 acres, and caused the evacuation of thousands of people. It began on September 6 around 10:30 a.m. and spread quickly. Many of us who are outside the danger zone but close enough to see have been taking photographs of the fire. I live about 9 miles south of the fire and we’ve watching the huge clouds of smoke during the day and the glowing sheets of flame at night (when visible). This is one of the most spectacular, clearly showing the naked stars over the fire scene. It was taken by William Maher III, probably on September 6, 2010. You can see more images at MyTown Colorado.
I’ve posted some of my own pictures taken on the first day of the fire here (FB mirror here).
What an incredible picture!
Carolyn, I’m so worried about you and Mark! I hope the winds don’t shift…… Stay safe.
Love, Colleen
We’re fine – out of harm’s way. the real damage is 8 or 9 miles north of us. And, it looks like there’s a storm on the way — it suddenly got colder and feels more humid.
