About Most of you know that here in Southern California we have had tens of thousands of acres burning and today promises 100 degree (Farenheit) or more for temperatures. While safely living at the coast . . . this picture is dedicated to those who have watched the sun set on their dreams. The REAL fire will be seen in the spirits of those who re-build!

Sadly, the fires do make for more spectacular sunsets. This is sooo dramatic and beautiful!

Thanks John . . . There's little if any rain but LOTS of freak thunder and lightning for us . . . to be continued for the next three days according to the weather forecast. Makes it easier to photograph lightning......then again, it's easier to photograph lava if you get tossed into an active volcano! LoL! :P I appreciate the comment!

Thanks Phillip . . . suprised about how word gets out to such distant places about our fires and heat. I'm certain it has nothing to do with anything like 'Global Warming' since our Washington elite tells us that doesn't exist....LoL! Anyway . . . it should cool a bit for us now . . . and I appreciate the comment!

:P

A fabulous sunset image, Doyle!

We've heard all about your bushfires and your heatwave, here, in Australia! I hope it cools down soon!

Cheers

Thanks Mel . . . the heat continues here without the fires (though they continue too) . . . over 80 people have died from heat related issues . . . but WE are ok . . . and all we know personally are safe too. Better . . . they are predicting a break in the heat any time now. Stay well!

Thanks Nessa! This ocean is much calmer, usually, than the one nearest you . . . but dramatic waves aren't always best . . . and tranquility can present an image of it's own, albeit less dramatically. As always . . . I appreciate your comments!

Wonderful words in your 'about' my friend. The only positive things that come out of these disasters is the spirit of the people as they attend to the aftermath.

This is a very strong and powerful composition tinged with the sadness of those natural events but is an excellent piece of journalistic photography. The fiery colours in the open sky look amazing set against the blackness that surrounds. I love the swell of the sea in this shot Doyle....well done to you my friend. Very best wishes.....Ray

Looks almost of a big storm is coming up Doyle. The people over there had a lot off scary ours, days and maybe even longer time. Good captured, and very true what you mentioned in your last sentence.
Great dedication my friend, regards,

Klaas

Stunning image Doyle. The life and strength. Depth of colours gorgeous. We have heatwave here (nearly 100 and humidity awful (and I love summer normally!) But nothing compared to what you mention for some.

Anang Wirawan Anang Wirawan   {K:216} 7/21/2006
great sky, great fiery sunset, nice idea. in my opinion, this photograph will be more powerfull with supporting object like boat or fisherman. otherwise this is a very moody seascape, i love it.
best regard, Anang.
