A stratum of smoke stained air sits between the cool evening air of Currumbin Valley and the remains of pretty winter sky. The smoke is a blend of residential wood fires and some defensive forest fire protection in northern New South Wales.

This is the first in a short series of close-up shots I have taken in Mariposa Grove, a sequoia grove located near Wawona, California in the southernmost part of Yosemite National Park. In Mariposa Grove you can find several hundreds of these awe-inspiring giant sequoia trees (Riesen-Mammutbäume). One try to capture these trees of more than 200ft (60m) with a basal circumference of close to 100 ft (30m) or a diameter of up to 30ft (9m) was my capture of the Mariposa Grove Museum (see below).
Here I tried to capture the amazing beauty of those giants by focusing on the fascinating bark of a sequoia tree. The bark is fibrous, furrowed, and may be 90 cm (3 ft) thick at the base of the columnar trunk. It provides significant fire protection for the trees, which is very important in a lifecycle of over 2000 years.
BTW: I’m not really sure if close-up is really fitting. Just compare the structures with what you see in the picture below and you’ll understand.

So one more time we'll dim the lights and ring the curtain up
And play again, like all the times before
But far behind the music you can almost hear the sounds
Of laughter, like the waves upon the shores, of infinity...

Before community firefighting, you could buy fire insurance and the comapny would fix one of these plaques to your property as a quick demonstration that you had fire cover. Then ,if you had a fire, and if the private firefighters found their company plaque on your house, they would wade in. If not, they went away and left you with the problem.
I'm not going to mark the location of this remain from the past; it's a miracle it hasn't been stolen already.

A relic of the pre-satellite days of watching out for forest fires in these mountains of western North Carolina. Now moved to the local park, reconstructed, and preserved as a monument to those public servants of the pre-1970s who watched for fire threat in the national forests.

This week's theme is "Reflections". I had occasion to be walking behind my colleagues this morning and could not help but love the effect their reflections made blending in with reflections of the fire protection piping.
Thanks to Sharlotte Hughes this photo is continuing to raise awareness of the delicate situation we're in around the Western & Mid Western states. Thank you Sharlotte for spreading the word and using this photo as a subtle reminder!
