Regrowth after Bushfires in Australian Snowy Mountains
This was a scene that was quite noisy and a little scary in person. The wind was blowing this thing all over the place and i wasn’t sure where it was going next. The lightning didn’t seem that safe either. That being said, I think the photo came out very peaceful. / Wildfire started by lightning just south of Goodyear, Arizona June 25th, 2008. / (my first ever picture of lightning)
This is an image I shot here at Lake Shasta during our drought, October, 2008…..some editing was done for this final effect….. I am donating 100% of the sales of this image during the next 60 days beginning today, February 10, 2009, to the Phoenix Appeal in support of the bushfires burning in Australia….Please help ....... This is so meaningful to me as we also have had so many wildfires in the past couple of years, last summer being the worst to date in our history….my heart goes out to each and everyone of you and your loved ones who have become victims of these horrendous bushfires . / /
Horse – Loosends-Stock / Background – *Anakmoon-stockage Michael Murphy – Wildfire She comes down from Yellow Mountain / On a dark, flat land she rides / On a pony she named Wildfire / With a whirlwind by her side / On a cold Nebraska night Oh, they say she died one winter / When there came a killing frost / And the pony she named Wildfire / Busted down its stall / In a blizzard he was lost She ran calling Wildfire, / She ran calling Wildfire, / She ran calling Wildfire By the dark of the moon I planted / But there came an early snow / There’s been a hoot-owl howling by my window now / For six nights in a row / She’s coming for me, I know / And on Wildfire we’re both gonna go We’ll be riding Wildfire, / We’ll be riding Wildfire, / We’ll be riding Wildfire On Wildfire we’re gonna ride / Gonna leave sodbustin’ behind / Get these hard times right on out of our minds / Riding Wildfire
If you look closely you can see a hint of lightnig in the lower left and some faint stars in the upper right. / This wild fire was started by lightning just east of Phionex Intrnational Speedway on June 25th, 2008.

Bows only to the wind that blows / Unhindered in it’s wrath / Tree to ground to tree it grows / Destroys all in it’s path / / The firestorm born from small spark / Voice crackles to a roar / Wanders about to leave land stark / With only ashen floor / / The firestorm we all create / Yet blame on one or two / The time has come to set things straight / From us… this fire grew / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the multitude of wildfires that have been occurring with increasing frequency and ferocity worldwide. Not only are these wildfires increasing, but they are also occurring during the coldest and wettest times of the year in many places. Greece, Australia, China, Europe, and the US have all had record breaking wildfires in the past year. / / My wife and I moved to the Pacific Northwest, one of the wettest places on the planet, after recognizing the climate change trend over a decade ago. We used to live high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, until in 2000, we came within a third of a mile of loosing our own home in the High Meadow wildfire near Bailey, Colorado. There is nothing more terrifying than listening to the roar of a wildfire as you are watching flames several hundred feet high marching towards your home. We were extremely lucky, and listened to the message that was given us and moved to the Pacific Northwest coast. / / We are all paying the price now for what we have done to our planet. The climate change created by the by-products of our relentless pursuit of what we deem ‘progress’, is ultimately responsible for these fires. Unfortunately, these events are only in their infancy and will continue to break records as the mean temperature of our atmosphere around the globe continues to increase. / / The original is 4800×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. It was created in Apophysis. The gradient was created in ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. The fractal was created as a transparency and then used as a layer in Photoshop post-processing. The background was created in Photoshop. The post processing was all done in Photoshop as well. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / / / /

In the movie GET SHORTY someone tells John Travolta that the reason LA has beautiful sunsets is the smog. He forgot to mention are wild fires. LA is definitely colorful.

I shot this sequence of images on July 22, 2008 here in Anderson, CA. The Aftermath is meant to be a bit dramatic….though the sun appears rather beautiful in this state, it still reflects the many lives which have been forever changed due to the wildfires burning here in Northern California…....and in the days before (the containment) after (the fires), lives were forever changed…......... / I appreciate all of you who have been commenting on this “smokey” series and appreciate all of your views and favorites… / / / ___ / All The Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted Or Uploaded In Any Way Without My Permission.

The last photo in the series – I promise!! And straight out of the camera. / How they could play golf in those conditions is beyond me, especially as the fire was burning down the side of two of the further fairways. This is directly opposite our house yesterday (Saturday 17 Jan) at about 9.00am.

Four days ago I posted photos of a neighbour’s farm burning…. / Today it was our turn. / The horror of seeing the flames racing across hundreds of acres, and the trees burning, within five hundred meters of our homes, was quite overwhelming. Thank God, the wind changed direction and kept it away from our houses…..only my nephew’s house suffered damage although hundreds of acres were burned and a lot of this year’s hay crop destroyed. / Again I say how grateful I am to the volunteer fire fighters of this district and all who dropped what they were doing to come and battle the blaze. Without them, it would have jumped the highway and continued on towards town. Hay burning…. / / The view from my back door tonight….. All proceeds from the sale of this image and any other in this profile will go to the Wildlife Appeal to assist the silent victims of the bushfires in Australia.
With the Western US under clouds of smoke, / and fires in many other parts of the world, / this message might help stop more people from moving / higher and higher into the hills / and deeper and deeper into the wilds, / where people’s homes don’t belong!

I took this from our back garden yesterday about 5 minutes before the wind shifted so miraculously. I think it shows just how close we came to getting out, although I don’t think it was as close as the picture suggests, but had the wind not changed it could have been a different story. This is the 4th time in the 19 years we’ve lived here and each time we’ve been saved by a last minute wind change. Someone up there is looking after us, that’s for sure. / Peter

This is an untouched photo. The Los Angeles and San Diego County wildfires are burning out of control. I canceled a reunion this weekend in San Diego because of the fires. Too many of our group have been evacuated and the fires burn on. The hurricane force Santa Ana winds should calm down by Friday, when an onshore breeze has been predicted. That will blow the smoke right back where it came from. Air quality is bad because the smoke from the fire has moved all the way up the coast of California. The sun looked like it was on fire when it set this evening.
