Before the fires

This is a drone shot of 'our' beach. We are the red dots on the beach.
We are trying to get down to the coast to see the damage, but most of this forest that you can see has been burnt, and the roads are still closed.

Love the colours here super shot

[Babs]

Oh no I do hope your house is safe. Must be so worrying

[Diana]

Good that you mentioned the red dots, would not have spotted you. An amazing capture and wonderful colours. Hope you will stay safe.

[Monique]

Great shot, hope you stay safe ; from what I’ve been reading, you’re not out of the dangerzone yet ?

[Wylie]

@777margo thanks Margo, its a magical place
@onewing thanks Babs, house is OK I understand, unlike the surrounding National Park :(
@ludwigsdiana @momamo we are safe, no where near the fires currently, though breathing in a lot of smoke. Fires are still out of control:(

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture -it's so sad to think this is now burnt. Good to read you are safe - and which beach is this ?

[Lou Ann]

A great drone pic. Just terrible about your fires.

[Wylie]

@gilbertwood Its Durras. Just North of Bateman's Bay.

[Issi Bannerman]

Wonderful vibrant colours. Such a shame about the fires.

[Merrelyn]

Great drone shot, what a shame that so much has been destroyed.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful drone shot. I have been considering wether to purchase a drone for some time and have always kept back from doing so, knowing that after a c of days I will lose interest. Now you increased that urge.

[KWind]

I love the layers and water colour.

[gloria jones]

Wonderful capture, pov

[Elizabeth]

Great drone shot! Such a shame about the fires. Hope they are more under control. I love what the drones can do but here there are so many regulations that prevent individuals from flying them most places.

Lovely colourful layers and composition

[Martin Jalkotzy]

I too love the layers of colour in the image!

[Marilyn G M]

[haskar]

A wonderful place and shot. So sorry to hear that all this has been burned.

[Danette Thompson]

Beautiful image. Hope the fires stop soon.

[Kathy]

How very sad. However, fire in the forests does renew plant life. Too bad it interferes with human and animal life.

[bkb in the city]

Beautiful shot but sad about the fires

[Lynda McG]

Nice capture - it still looks very green, hope the fires get under control soon

[Carole Sandford]

Nice capture. It sounds a terrible situation!

[Taffy]

As so many have already written, the fires are just heartbreaking. This tranquil scene makes the impact even harder.

[CC Folk]

Beautiful...and heartbreaking! The fires are horrible!
