Australian Country A Blaze

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.
