Something Different
I was here on my bike to do some landscapes, but shifted my attention to this fire that broke out across the road. Soon, rubberneckers started showing up, and this guy got into my field of view. Alarm center had already been called before I even took any pictures. This way I got to pretend I was Junior Press photographer for a few minutes.
It was surreal, or rather, eerie. That's because it was so quiet, unlike in movies and literature, where fires "roar". This was such quiet destruction, which gives food for thought. I mean, the idea that we would wake up because of the sound of a fire in our home is unrealistic. Fire is more insidious than I'd imagined it to be, and therefore more dangerous.
