An alternative title is 'burnt by ignorance'. For some reason, idiots think it is a good idea to build a barbecue under trees...often with disastrous results, another top cause of forest fires here is dropped litter, loads of it in this location, out of shot. Most people just bag it and go home...some don't even bag it. Many take no responsibility, their mother's will clean up after them

I cannot be online much this week but will catch up with your posts on Thursday 👍👍👍👍
Ash remains on the stump of a broken branch on a fallen Oak Tree.
The region does not get much rainfall in a year. During the summer months the chaparral becomes dry. Lightning strikes will cause wildfires. There was a wildfire that swept through this area about 10 years ago.

The cars on the left are travelling on Highway 395. The fire damage goes up to the road. In some spots the fire jumped the road.
The Marina fire was a 654 acre fire just north of Lee Vining, California.
Topaz Lake is in the background.
Bridge inspectors stopped all boat and barge traffic on the Ohio River as they continue to test the structural integrity of the fire damaged bridge. Two semis collided and burned on the lower deck on Wednesday night. Over 174,000 vehicles a day use this bridge. Barges continue to hug the banks of the Ohio River as all river traffic is stopped. One huge mess with traffic delays throughout Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. Image taken near the floodwall in Covington, Kentucky/
Just don't be messin' with our 'stuff'......
They all got out in time, but unfortunately the house was so filled with hoarded items the firefighters had to go thru the roof to get in.
Not much has been done to this old fire gutted apartment building in the last four years. See my first post from 2016 below:

Every now and then Broxhead common in Hampshire UK catches fire sometimes its children causing it during the summer holidays but now and then it seems to start for no apparent reason . It always comes back strong , the heather returns and the wild life recovers . Nature heals its self but for how long.

Two enormous cave entries on the banks of the ocean. Would have loved to get to see these close-up but we it's all closed off at moment due to the fires from June. \the perspective doesn't quite do the scale of this justice
Many of you wanted to know what Earl and Daryl have been working on lately. I stopped by their latest project today. They weren’t there because a crow flew over the house from south to north. Apparently that was a bad omen for continuing work today so they went home early.
The owner of this little mother-in-law cottage wanted the lean-to building that was attached to the back of the house removed and the wood hauled away. It was in a poor state of repair. Then he wanted the foundation stabilized and the building made air tight.
After they got the main portion of the lean-to removed from the house, Daryl got a great idea. “Hey, Earl, it is going to take a long time to haul all this lumber through the woods to our truck. Why don’t we burn it?”
“Are you a moron, Daryl?” Replied Earl. What if the dry leaves catch on fire or something worse!”
“Don’t worry, Earl there is a hose right here in front of the house. We can stand by with water in case the fire starts to spread.”
“I don’t know why I let you talk me into these hair brained schemes, Daryl, but it will save time.”
They set a small fire at the far end of the pile of wood. Being that it has been dry for awhile, it quickly got out of control.
“Start wetting down the house, Daryl,” yelled Earl. What is that coming out of the hose. It is barely a trickle.”
“I think the hose is blocked, Earl.”
“Or the water has been turned off! Didn’t you check it before you mentioned this plan, Daryl? Start raking the leaves away from the house. I’ll shovel dirt over the fire.”
Needless to say the fire did jump onto the roof and around the chimney stack. It charred a small area of the attic as well. The boys have insisted to the owner that it will be good as new after they repair the fire damage. I’m skeptical ...
I notice they did take down the sign that says Renovations by Earl and Daryl, Ltd.
This is a small section of the damage done by the Marina Fire, a 654 acre fire just north of Lee Vining, California.
Topaz Lake is in the background.
An old red barn in rural Mendon, MA USA - it has been there at least 40 years, as I remember seeing it as a child. There are still cows grazing in the pasture behind the barn, so the farmland has not been completely abandoned.
Until now it looked as if mankind was making this planet uninhabitable 'only' by its irresponsible use of natural resources ... as described in the latest UN’s 2022 climate impacts report,
but now Russia's despicable war against Ukraine, contrary to any international law, has been added to the mix ... !:-((

What’s left of the shack at the end of pier at Nick’s Cove (Tomales Bay), after it burned down in January. I always stop here for oysters on Tomales rides. There was an upright piano inside, and anyone was welcome to play. Very bummed about this. Shot from a kayak a couple of weeks ago.
Phoenix, Arizona
A similar view of this building from four years previous can be seen in the "Of Time and Typologies" Album.

Another capture of the Shuswap area illustrates the damage left behind from the ravaging fires of last year. While the mountain side is entirely devoid of color from the raging fires, the edge of a ranchers property is left untouched. It continues to flourish with the many colors of nature and grows unharmed.
When I saw this, it seemed to illustrate the edge of color considering there was such a definite and altogether drastic "line in the sand", so to speak. How the fires were drawn up the mountain side, while leaving the flat lands unscathed. It does however leave us wondering about the coming season, and the lack of rain.
This restaurant burned down a while back, there are fences all around it. I love that old fence on, what once was a terrace.

Last November this scene would have looked horrendous. A blackened landscape that one would think might take years to recover. But in fact the Australian and Tasmanian landscape is incredible in its fecundity. Regrowth after a bushfire is to see nature in hyperdrive.
Within a few more years there will be almost no evidence of fire in this landscape at all. And yet fires have always been an ever present reality in the Australian bush. Most fires (despite the concerning few that are lit by arsonists) start through lightning strikes.
Never mind Nature, she can look after herself. It's often when we try to interfere that we create drastic unintended consequences.
** [If you enlarge this photograph it's amazing what you can find. I have tagged an unlikely shy little creature, a Bennetts Wallaby. Can you see it too? I had no idea until I came to processing the shot. Sadly many of these little creatures did perish in the fires. But again, how reassuring to see them about in this landscape again.]
