Canadair trying to extinguish a fire

While driving to Cortina we saw smoke over the mountains, then this little airplane appeared full of water from a nearby lake. I'm happy that was able to catch the moment when it released the water.
It's more than 100 days that it does not rain

How terrifying re the drought

[haskar]

Great action shot. We also have a drought, it has not been raining for a month. There is a very high fire risk, but the vegetation of plants is also disturbed.

[Diane]

Great shot! Hope they got the fire controlled and you get rain soon.

Wow, great capture……..hope you are safe!
