Description

a big birthday wish to a super photographer and friend, hope your birthday was filled with joy minda, i'm not to late am i? thank you for your friendship, kindness and support hon. this photo was taken june 11th 2002 at 7:39 pm according to my records. this was colorado's biggest fire at the time, a firewoman by the name of T Barton, won't mention her first name, started this fire cause she ws upset about the seperation of her husband, she tried to make it appear she found the fire and tried to put it out. but it got out of her hands. later they found eveidence of letters fron him to her at the burn site where it started. many people lost their homes. no lives were lost as far as human, but there were countless animals that could not escape the huge fire. everything from birds. bears, mtn lions, dear, lizards and many, many others. it was a very upsetting situation.. it did have many beautiful sunsets and sunrises. taken with an olympus e-10 thanks for coming by. lol steve

Thank you for your comments and faves on my last image: they only come out at night

Beautiful photo and an aweful story. I remember the blaze, but didn't know the cause. Beyond ridiculous. If people loved themselves, true friends and the planet, they would find better ways to cope with hurt, loss and tragedy, but hey what do I know, she might really be psycho.

don't know if you made it down to Denver at that time, but the smoke was so bad the mountains were not visible for a month... that was the worst fire in colorado history... a week before that, was the worst fire in colorado history, but it was only a third of the size of the Haymen.... this last month, Colorado has had so many fires going on you can't turn on a tv without hearing about it. This last month, we had our worst fire ever... there are still fires going on so we're breaking all kinds of records... on top of that, we're not getting any rain and just days ago we we still hitting the 90s.

Here in the desert, this happens all the time. I can't remember a year the Joshua Tree National Park hasn't burned at least once. Still a great capture.
