Not a bushfire

This shot of a "fiery" sunset was taken back in June (Australia's first month of Winter), but today it reminds me that we are now only weeks away from our official Bushfire Season. Residents in the Port Lincoln region on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula have just this week experienced a devastating loss of homes to such an event. Thoughts and prayers are with those coming to terms with their loss and wondering how to once again rebuild their homes and lives.

Beautiful sky, glad it is sun fire and not real fire. To experience a big bush fire must be truly terrifying.

Beautiful sunset - bush fires aren't so pretty - hope you have no more in SA this season.

Sorry to hear that -I live in an area, prone to fires, so I know how devastating it can be.

Beautiful photo. We had devastating wildfires here this summer, one of them destroyed 346 houses in my city.
