Shelter Cove

Theme: Okanagan - forest fire
There is a massive wildfire burning in Shelter Cove, Canada. I decided it was time to take a self-portrait. I wanted to take a picture with the forest fire as the back drop. I was initially planning to make a torch. Then I decided it would not be a good idea to light a fire when the risk of starting a fire is extremely high.
Walking back to my car, I heard some people conversing. I was eavesdropping on the conversation and decided to interact with them. An older female named Sandy and a younger male with his large dog on a leash. They were talking about the forest fire across the lake. I decided to join the conversation.
I had an hour-long conversation with a stranger about the forest fires in the Okanagan while watching the world burn. She has been living by the beach in the Okanagan for the last 25 years. She told me her observations and thoughts about forest fires throughout the Okanagan. Such as, her thoughts about fire evacuations, opinions about Christ Clark, the fire budget for 2015, global warming, and response team to the fire.
I learned a lot about a stranger options for someone I will never see again. In a world of mass communications, I find these conversations between strangers to be rarer.
