Full Moon, Forest Fire

This was the view from our place in 2002. Not a great technical photo but those living in forest fire areas will understand what this is like at the worst of these dangers. This fire went on for months.

The Biscuit Fire was a wildfire that took place in 2002 that burned nearly 500,000 acres (2,000 km²) in the Siskiyou National Forest in southern Oregon and northern California, in the Western United States. The fire was named after Biscuit Creek in southern Oregon.

Great image, Charlie. You probably had a lot of red suns out of that fire too. The haze on the hills and in the valleys also speaks volumes

No, Eva, this was taken with an old 3 or 4 megapixel panasonic DSLR.

A very compelling image Charlie. Those hazy, layered ridges work well with the large, ominous moon. Nicely done.

Beautiful image. Overall seems a little soft so I would suggest applying more sharpening.
