Fire, Aurora Borealis, and The Big Dipper

I felt this is a stunning photo that should not be missed.

Please note the "credit" as this is the first time I have not used my own photos.

The fuel for this forest fire (4-hour drive from where I live) in Fraser Lake, BC, Canada is long-standing pine trees that were killed by beetles. There has been massive logging of the pine trees killed by the pine beetle because the wood had a desirable blue hue. This was short lived as the standing pine trees soon cracked and became unusable. It was only a matter of time before nature took out the old so the new could take hold.

This photo is called "Trifecta" as there were perfect winds that allowed the camera to capture the Big Dipper, Aurora Borealis, and the Fire. This was taken with a 30 min exposure.
