For some reason I'm kind of obsessed with this yellow machine.
Control - Downsampled from ~15, hotsampling! using SRWE; using this guide and CT by Frans Bouma; Lightroom
To restore the important role of fire, Parks Canada now uses prescribed fire, which was first used in Banff National Park in 1983.
I took this pictures in the Sawback area on the Bow Valley Parkway, where the prescribed burn was used in 1993.
A few feet off the ground, passing the control tower, on its way out of Manchester is 9V-SMU, Singapore Airlines, Airbus A350.

I went out for a small walk in the Forest on Saturday. It is the first time I have felt fit enough to walk since I had Covid back in December. There were signs up letting people know that controlled burning was taking place. Though seeing these huge flames would have told us that. We didn't stay out long as it was so cold. The wind was biting
"The law permits controlled burning each year from the first working day in November until the last working day of March. However, in practice it generally starts in early February because the worst of the winter weather is over, there are no birds nesting or animals producing young, the vegetation is still quite dry and the damp ground offers protection to the peaty soil. The process is strictly controlled and only a small percentage of the heathland is burned each year (on average 400 hectares) and only then in rotation, which traditionally is once every generation (about 25 years). A firebreak is first established around the area to be burned, which is made by using a cutting machine. The firebreaks are used to prevent the spread of flames to other parts of the heathland. Only skilled and experienced staff are permitted to undertake controlled burning of the heathland

Took this unexpected shot as I was leaving MIA. I had been standing on a cement pillar to look over the chain-link fence to grab the sunset, and as I walked back towards the car this flock of birds was quick to return back to their spot to gaze at the sunset. T3i and Sigma 18-250mm.

Many photos I've taken over the years were made possible by coming across subjects purely by accident. This pic is an example. We were early into our third day of driving to north Texas and had left Lenoir City, just west of Knoxville, without grabbing breakfast first. We stopped in Mount Juliet, wanting to get something to eat before moving through Nashville, and on to our next stop, in Hope, Arkansas. As we were leaving I saw this truck with its great graphic and walked over for a closer look. We spent several minutes grabbing phone pics, being careful to get the best angle for eliminating reflections, when the driver appeared. He asked why we were interested enough in his truck to want photos. At this point I showed him some spider images I had on my phone... a number of them being "in your face" shots of Black Widows. He gave us both his business card and mentioned that we should contact his company, Central Tennessee Termite & Pest Control.
The graphic certainly is an attention getter, but is inaccurate. Black Widows don't construct orb webs... ever. They build shapeless, messy webs in a very haphazard manner. Also, to be anywhere near believable, the spider should be on the other side of the web. I could have reworked the image in Photoshop... carefully placing web strands over the spider, but would have still had the Black Widow occupying a web that clearly wasn't her own. However, the average customer with a serious bug problem isn't going to care one bit about the accuracy of any picture on an exterminator's truck. It serves a purpose as-is. It's creepy, has a creepy (if generic) web, and gets the idea across that these are "bug people" that can help you.
