but that of my neighbour who lives in a double story house and has a great zoom lens. This is just a part of three mountain ranges that have been burning.
It started behind the Helderberg and the horrific wind we have been having pushed the flames over to our side. All three mountain ranges were burning, some since last Wednesday.
Fortunately it is so high up that no wine estates have been affected. Many rich people lost their mansions though. I feel for all the animals, such a tragedy. This shot was taken a 7am yesterday morning.
Thank God it started raining yesterday afternoon and will rain for the next few days.
I know that scene all too well. Our two environments have so much in common. Sorry you have to go through this. A couple of years ago one of the fires was in the wine region. One of the wineries tried to actually market a wine they created from the smokey grapes they were able to harvest. I could NOT swallow it. So sad for them.
I am so sorry to hear about the fires. We have had many here in the US in past years and the season is just beginning this year. Your friend took an amazing shot of this fire.
I will let my neighbour know about your comments. Fortunately it has rained solid for the last 24hours and we have way over 60mm by now. It still is pouring non stop :-)
