Fire Storm

.

Forest Fire in Yellowstone - 2006
An angry sky in the late afternoon.

(Click on the Photo for the full effect)

Much of the light was obscured by smoke and clouds from a storm rolling in. We were lucky enough (depending on your point of view) to find a side road and get close enough and high enough to see the glow of the fire above the tree line.

In addition to the amazing colors, the photo is further enhanced by the stark silhouettes of the skeletons of trees from a previous fire, cutting across the sky.

The trees are a bit out of focus, but as I remember, I was trying to focus on the cloud edges.

Another Sky Watch Friday Adventure Photo.
Taken on our drive back to Texas from Alaska.
