This was from the second night of the fire as it moved down the hill toward the road. It was taken about a half mile east of the entrance to Elkmont.
As I was photographing these images the sounds were coming in to focus as well. Cracks, pops, leaves rustling, a dull roar, alarmed birds and most of all a distressed Whip-poor-will. Being a ground nester I felt sorry for the critters.
I apologize Robert, I thought I had commented on this one...I meant to anyway
I generally have fires like this around here but so far so good, of course I don't live in a National Park either which makes this one even more disturbing. Excellent image however, given me some ideas...for shots not fires
