We were trapped in Silent Valley Campground with this fire all around us. But I did get to take a pretty cool fire picture.
As the grey fire dancers awoke, one by one, twisting and twirling, they formed a circle. Bending in ways inconceivable to human kind, they spurred on the sleepy red flame, enticing it to grow and reach to the sky...

After doing a 'photo walk' with Sidereal and heading home, we stumbled on a church fire. The fire department was there quickly and put it out quickly. I don't think anyone was injured.
I shot this in the fall last year when a storm was looming in the evening while the sun was setting ... It was gorgeous !
Germany 2017 Lubeck - Lübeck Cathedral (German: Dom zu Lübeck, or colloquially Lübecker Dom) is a large brick-built Lutheran cathedral in Lübeck, Germany and part of the Lübeck World Heritage Site. It was started in 1173 by Henry the Lion as a cathedral for the Bishop of Lübeck. It was partly destroyed in a bombing raid in World War II (1942), when the Arp Schnitger organ was destroyed by fire, but was subsequently reconstructed.
It is also famous for works of Bernt Notke and Thomas Quellinus, which survived the bombing raid in 1942. The famous altar by Hans Memling is now in Lübeck's St. Annen Museum.[1] The current church was finished in 1982.
In 1173 Henry the Lion founded the cathedral to serve the Diocese of Lübeck, after the transfer in 1160 of the bishop's seat from Oldenburg in Holstein under bishop Gerold.
The then Romanesque cathedral was completed around 1230, but between 1266 and 1335 it was converted into a Gothic-style building with side-aisles raised to the same height as the main aisle (around 20m).
On the night of Palm Sunday (28–29 March) 1942 a Royal Air Force bombing raid destroyed a fifth of the town centre. Several bombs fell in the area around the church, causing the eastern vault of the quire to collapse and destroying the altar which dated from 1696. A fire from the neighbouring cathedral museum spread to the truss of the cathedral, and around noon on Palm Sunday the towers collapsed. An Arp Schnitger organ was lost in the flames. Nevertheless, a relatively large portion of the internal fittings was saved, including the cross and almost all of the medieval polyptychs. In 1946 a further collapse, of the gable of the north transept, destroyed the vestibule almost completely.
Reminds me of the lovely song:
Now I see fire, inside the mountain!
I see fire, burning the trees!
And I see fire, hollowing souls!
I see fire, blood in the breeze!
And I hope that you'll remember me.
Took a picture of a fireplace, shuffled the fire around to make it look more aesthetically pleasing, turned down highlights, increased shadows a bit, cropped the image to look this way.
