Yeah, I'm sure it's something like that. But in my mind it seems so easy to smother the fire by depriving of oxygen (plugging the holes). I'll explore that site some more.

I think it gets oxygen through many holes in the ground and through the old mine shafts. There's a story on that website (under the download a portion section) that talks about a 12 year old boy falling into a sink hole in the early 80's. Just opened up when he was walking through a back yard. He could hear "wind" which was the air going into the underground shafts.
Turns out that the back yard was over an old slanted mine shaft that had been filled in with dirt. From the fire burning up the fill and everything else underground, the ground loses stability and colapsed on itself.
I'm guessing most of the air underground is through these old shafts. Though I'm certainly not an expert.

Thanks. That explains the how it got started part. I'm still curious how an underground fire is getting its oxygen, but I'll keep digging.

Amazing. How did the fires start? How do they get oxygen?

I drove by this area many years ago and was fascinated by the smoldering heat and smell. Good picture and description.

In my opinion, this is the best composition of the covered bridge, Angela! There is a neat definition of fore, middle and background, in thirds. A number of your secondary subjects are also well placed for compositional excellence!

Nice,
The image is missing something. The plain sky doesn't balance the rocks. Maybe cropping or altering the sky might help.
Still good subject and great persepective

This has great potential! I would crop at a line tangent to the radial portion of the lattice work above the the window arch. Shadows in the face need deepening; and the right side of face and the chest are too light. The archway on the window, also, needs some highlight and shadow toning. A radial gradient adjustment layer might be a nice effect too.

Excellent composition! Some lens distortion on light house; appears to tilt to the left. While you are trying PS filters, maybe a find edges or a high pass filter, on a back ground copy, properly blended might add more detail to the top of the light house.

Nice shot, one of the best rainbow pictures I've ever seen.
I do find it a bit confused though. Maybe more of the water and boats and the reflection of the rainbow and the horizon line more towards the center of the image would have balanced the image more.
Then again maybe that wasn't possible.
Good photograph :)

As CC, I'd say you're getting some tinging in the branches would could be corrected in software. And the light seems to have been on the falls/rapids, and the rest to photo left more in shadow. Perhaps pulling back more might have added more light on the right (though you might have been trying to avoid what look like structures on the far right).

Very nice capture with super colors and a nice sense of depth, Angela. The one thing that does bother me is the window, particularly the bottom left corner. It gives a tilted feel that's a bit too dizzying for my taste. I would suggest distorting it somewhat to remove that corner (see below).
Nice work.

My brother and I made an igloo in Wisconsin the winter we lived their. As well as tunnels (the snow at the side of the road in front of our house was probably six or seven feet deep).

I love your presentation here of the Liberty Bell. Just a little tip, when you past in an object feather the edges 2 to 3 pixels and it will smooth it out better.
