Yellowstone on Fire
This pano, taken from one of the pull-outs near Mt. Washburn, shows the extent of the fires burning in Yellowstone late this summer. On this particular day the winds had kicked up and, coupled with low humidity, caused the fires to flare up again. Interestingly enough, the very next day snow moved in and put the fires down. All of the fires were lightning caused and allowed to burn. I wanted the dead trees in the foreground to show that this particular area had burned in the past, probably in the fires of 1988.

Thanks for your views and comments! have a great week ahead!
