We guys were supposed to skydive on the morning of sept 6th, 2010 in the first load but the gusty winds topping 40 mph doused our plans..As we were waiting for updates on the wind we saw this smoke that started to build up on one of the mountains.. In 1 hr it became so big that the city of Denver was in thick smoke...
Heard later from the news that this wildfire started from a slash fire pit of a 71 year old fire department volunteer and topped 10 mn for the state and additional 217 mn $ for the insurance companies in damages making this the most expensive wildfire in CO history...

7 commentsI think the smoke is the focus here, so the plane right in the middle of the frame detracts a bit.
I might have moved back quite a bit, and placed the plane on the left side, with lots of smoke above and behind it (looks as if the smoke grows in height toward the left side).
Very nice documentation of a bad situation.

I did not like the angle of the plane wrt to the smoke so did not post this picture..
A lower POV wud have helped I guess
Also is there a way that I can replace the posting with the new one ?
We can remove and re-post one of our own posts IF no one has commented yet. Go to "my photos" and you'll see a "delete" link below the image to entirely delete it. You can use the "edit" link , to edit the written info with your post.
Once there is a comment, we cannot delete the image, but we CAN post a re-worked or new image in the same thread - as you did here.
Nice work!
