The Fire Wave, a rock formation made up of swirling pink, red and white sandstone that looks like a wave of water frozen in stone. It's a popular spot at the Valley of Fire State Park near Las Vegas.
More fire spinning. This time, the weather was nice enough that I could go out to the Enchanted Forest where many of the Austin fire spinners go. Tonight was a mix of fire and light.

This year has been particularly smokey in southeast Utah. Fires belching smoke from California, Arizona, Colorado, and within Utah have kept us indoors several days. Last night as we drove in to Moab for groceries and pears to can, we noticed a fire crawling up the side of South Mountain, 3 miles from our house. It wasn't raging and the wind was fairly calm coming from the southwest which was a good sign. It was also burning up an alluvial fan that burned 7 years ago so there wasn't much fuel. There are still some smoke coming from the steep canyons, but no active fire is visible. I am thankful for my husband who has worked tirelessly the last couple of years to chop and mow a defensible space around our house amidst the dry, dry grasses and sagebrush. Sending out a global hug to all those who have been impacted by the disasters of flood, fire, earthquakes, and disease.
Sunset over the granite coast near Gracetown in Western Australia. I loved the clouds. They were a prelude to storms moving in overnight and made for a great evening.
I will be taking a short break for about three weeks and hope to be back posting in the second half of September.

Our primary source of heat is our woodstove. This is what it looks like inside when it is cooking - nice and toasty.
Sorry, I don't have anything better today. I took a few shots earlier in the day but wasn't satisfied with them.
6 years after the devastating Christchurch earthquakes, major fires break out on the port hills. So far one dead, at least 11 houses have been confirmed as destroyed and 1800 hectares of land damaged (many trees lost).
This was shot at night from the John Britten reserve at the eastern end of port hills and the glow and smoke from the fires is obvious.
... Without that fire,
you're just another person
with another idea.
With that fire,
you are a force to reckon with,
a wind of change,
a person on a mission.
Therefore, you must keep that fire lit,
at all costs

Believe it or not this is a "controlled burn". Prairie in this area is burned every few years. According to my limited knowledge on the subject the reason is to get rid of invasive species and let the natural grasslands grow back better and thicker. In this case the wind started to gust and the fire flared up. As we watched from the roadside we could feel the intense heat and moved along rather quickly. A mile down the road the fire was out and already raptors and vultures were circling over head looking for small dead animals. We plan to take a drive to the area today and see how many raptors we can spot.
From seemingly nowhere, spilled glowing lava like cords of orange neon-lighting. In the blackness that engulfed the night, electric heat lit flowing streams that fell into the sea, disappearing in a cloud of steam with a sizzling splash.
