Great shot and description Debra. I love so much the simplicity of the scene and the foggy effect of the smoke. It kind of suggest a canvas and let my imagination drive to nowhere.
Thank you Yves, yes it does give one the opportunity to imagine. I will take a picture on my next visit so you can see what the area looks like on a clear day.
A remarkable image with a mood all its own, Debra. Can't help but think of the lonely pelican forced to flee from the situation it came from and wonder just how severe an impact wildfires have had on all of our wildlife caught in the situation. Excellent capture and thought provoking too.
Thanks Heather, yes it is extremely sad to think about all that is lost in the wildfires. The draught conditions seem to be getting more severe every year. This image does make me think about what will be in the future!
