Very dramatic, Roger. I've been to too many of these over my 37 year fire service career.

Very powerful image Roger. The smoke cloud dwarfs the landscape.

Hey Roger

Very dramatic picture, we don't see to many of these things here in the UK, thankfully.

The picture tells the story and gives a sense of scale to the fire

Well done

Ron

Nice capture Roger. I'm ok with it being lightning caused rather than by some idiot. :rolleyes:
The interesting thing going on here is that this is actually creating another cloud that could potentially produce more lightning. :cool:
