The winds picked up and the fire built strength. Over night it fed on 20,000 acres and over a hundred homes. Days later, it still isn't satisfied and continues to engulf everything in it path.

Now up to 52,000 acres and fighting off 1,200 fire fighters, the future is undetermined. The only fact is that this is just the beginning of the end.

P.S. Those are not clouds. Everything from the haze in the foreground to the huge stacks of clouds are smoke from the fire.

great pic, those smoke clouds are beautiful, in a terrible sort of way.

Exact same words went through my head as well.

It's amazing how something so destructive can look so beautiful. Wildfires are no joke, and we already had a few big ones. Hopefully though we won't get any as bad as last year. It's been WAY too dry out here. The colors you picked up in the clouds are great and the haze adds some depth.

Wish I could say those were clouds. Unfortunately that is the smoke rolling off the now 52,000 acre fire :( But it is eerily beautiful and thank you for the comment. I wish I could've come on your last trip man. Your shots are turning out fantastic!

Yeah, you should have seen the sky here last year during the biggest wildfire in the states history, almost 600k acres. Thanks for the kind words. Sometime in the near future I'll try to plan something out so we can shoot together. Don't know when that will be cause I'm pretty booked on trips and time, but maybe next year I'll head out to CO for a week either in the summer or fall.

Well I'd love to meet up and shoot with ya someday. If you can fit me into your busy schedule ;) And 600K?! That is ridiculous! That's like a 1,000 square miles!
