The eerie atmosphere of a bushfire

Time for Debbie’s Six Word Saturday

I am sorry for bombarding you with fire stuff but it’s my life at the moment.

I was in town when the atmosphere turned a different shade than I am used to seeing which gave my world an eerie glow.

The reflection of the sun on the water which was being whipped up by a very strong wind. There was even small waves on the river191109_blog_challenge_six_word_saturday_fire_sun_reflection_water

  1. I’ve been watching the news as the husband of a friend in Australia is a fire fighter by profession. They are still out of the danger zone. I hope you will be, too. Stay safe.

  2. Terrible beauty in these shots Brian. I really feel for everyone in the fire zone; even if you’re safe from the flames, the smoke must play havoc with breathing. I know you’ll take care, and hope that the fires stay under control.
