Description On the north of Israel at Carmel mountain, over 1400 dunam (346 acre) been burnt down...

The red thing that the airplane is droping is a burnt suspension that slows down the fire and lets the firefighters get to the center virtually quicker

During 2005
Shot it from the "Hai-Bar" on the Carmel
it's a preserve for mammals

Oh, cool.
Yeah I know what the Hai-Bar is, beautiful place. I was so scared when the fire was approaching it 2 months ago...

This is horrible!
I can see it from my house!
The news say that the fire will continue at least until Sunday..

not only that I don't mind,
it's even an honour for me... especially that I'm very pro green and very aware of global warming

something that's just really attention capturing about this shot but i couldn't tell you what it is...

Thanks for the comment and the fav...
maybe because it's unique, not being seen every day ?

mrRiver In reply to geostant [2007-11-21 03:32:31 +0000 UTC]

quite probably. but it seems more than that though, somehow you captured an emotion higher than the picture itself, as if i can feel what the pilot is feeling at the moment you capture it or something.

Excellent shots, wonderful colors. it makes me cry though, as I remember the look of the burnt mountain that I live on (Naphtaly range - Manara)

We lost a lot of trees the last war...

Keynant In reply to geostant [2006-08-30 16:00:06 +0000 UTC]

Sure did. A katyusha hit about 30-40 meters from my house and caused a lot of the surrounding nature to burn, as well as other missiles which burned most of the mountain side... I only hope that the burn there is superficial and that the trees will be green again.

I can't add much to what everyone already said. It is a great shot. Totally printworthy as well (hint )

geostant In reply to schemata-69 [2006-08-25 12:44:18 +0000 UTC]

No can do
quality issues (high ISO with a major crop doesn't goes well together)

I really like it as well but not the situation.... many many trees died that day
