Doom and Gloom
The doom and gloom that was the Lennox Head fire on new years eve 2013. The fires encroached on the small coastal village of Lennox head in NSW, Australia. Flames in excess of 20m were recorded and over 770 hectares of bushland was destroyed. Fortunately no homes or lives were lost as over 80 firefighters per shift, with support from helicopters and water planes fought the fires. Always amazing to witness scenes like this.

I agree, that is amazing to witness scenes like this, but terriable at the same time
Yes. Was a bit freaky as our family has a house down there but lucky no loss of property or lives.
Soooo much smoke! Bushfires are scary

I don't know how to react the shot is perfect but the scene makes me sad
;-)
Kind of paradoxical how a tragedy can create beautiful photos :/
This looks like something straight outta Mordor. :)
Glad to see that now lives were lost in this fire.
Yes. I guess thats why media loves a good natural disaster
Damn right, they re like junkies looking for the next high /next disaster or tragedy
The smoke looks lovely but seeing the entire photo made me sad.
Thank you for sharing stories with your photographs sir.
