Description
Hope flees through the fangs
of Gehenna's fiery maw
its hunger denied
This is my second picture of a fictional event surrounding the Peshtigo Fire of 1871. The deadliest forest fire in US history, killing over 2000 people. It is lost to many for it occurred the exact same day and time as the Great Chicago Fire.
This image would not have been possible without the stellar modeling of the Tashmoo by Danamo, as well as his supplying of the freebie filter "Cumulus" for PS. Thanks! I told you I'd get a picture done with this model.
