Path of destruction

I hesitated to use this title, but it was pretty soul destroying to see the beautiful forest in this state.
Australia's capital city, my home town, has just been declared to be in a state of emergency as the fires approach.
I feel reasonably safe, but there are many who are not.

[Dianne]

And still these fires rage on - it is so horrible. Stay safe.

[Julienne Jones]

I feel for you....soul destroying it is indeed. My thoughts are with you and my hopes that this crisis will soon pass so that you all can start to recover.

[Casablanca]

Saw that Canberra has a state of emergency declared as I woke up this morning. Aching for you and sending you all our prayers and kindest thoughts across the globe. Hope it comes under control soon.

[Terrie]

Stay safe please. We've just had a passing shower after a 43degree day. A muggy horrid Melbourne day.

[Diana]

What a nightmare and heartbreaking news. Sending prayers and blessings.

[Diana]

Ps, a stunning capture 😥

[Dione Giorgio]

I love this fantastic capture. The world is full of woes - Australia fires have not been completely controlled yet and now it's the coronavirus spreading all over China and invading other countries, too.

Pretty shot and I love the sunbeams. It is really sad about the fires, though.

[Martin Jalkotzy]

Ouch, your title is appropriate.

[Merrelyn]

You have captured it beautifully. The high temperatures won't be helping the situation. Stay safe.

Gosh...So much damage to the trees...Great capture...Stay safe.

[Clare Gadsby]

so sorry to hear this

[Kathy]

I heard that this morning when my alarm went off and the news was on. Hopefully this fire won't burn as long or as much.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Stunning shot

[Sharon]

What a horrible day it is today - thinking of you all down that way. Hope things improve.

[Tricia O'Donnell]

[haskar]

There is something beautiful about it

[CC Folk]

The fires have been so horrific. Very sad. :(

[Mary Siegle]

Will say a prayer for you all. A sad scene you've captured so effectively.
