Another prairie fire
Well to keep the 'fire' theme going. I got to photograph a burn on the Mitchell Heritage Prairie not far from Manhattan a couple of weeks ago. This was one of my favorites from that day.

Not much burning since then anywhere around Manhattan, as Ken mentioned, to wet or to windy.

And if anyone wants to see some "behind the scenes" shots a burn, I've got a few more online at:

It was very interesting to watch how the burn was done.

I can feel the heat. Neat shot.

The fires were going last night. Took my dog for a walk about 8:30 pm and could see the smoke on the horizon and smell it.

To Brad Mangas: I have about 15 acres to burn. If you want some photos I'll call when I do it. Tall grass, about 7 feet, will make some huge flames. And you could help control the perimeters..
