Australian Country A Blaze
Photo taken by collegue Simon Frankel. Then edited in Photoshop by myself. Thankyou to Simon for allowing me to post the photo.
This was not a sand storm as some may think. Just over the hill was a raging fire that was taking control in 2006. They were taken at Pike River during the bush fire that burnt out around 120,000 hectares of scrub just north of the Riverland.
It was a mixture of smoke, stormy grey cloud and some sun trying to break through.
Australian Country A Blaze belongs to the following groups:
Australian Bush ☼ (aspects of realistic Landscapes - ie N0 Abstracts or Macros please!) and Australian Landmarks and Icons Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Fantastic capture and treatment. My friend’s husband who is a farmer in Australia is also a volunteer firefighter, and she has told me about these awful fires which rage from time to time.
