I needed to take a break from the Tamarack Fire images. Here's one form our last workshop in Bodie... hope you can join us next year, after the wildfire smoke is gone! (We've cancelled our workshops for August and September due to the extreme drought and intensified fire season.)

Full disclosure: single shutter release activation, adjusted in Lightroom, no Photoshop, nothing was faked (like mirroring the sky into the puddle, or copying the sky or foreground from another time or sky captured in a different shot taken at a different focal length).

Sad that this disclosure seems necessary these days, given the high incidence of graphics arts creations being passed off as photographic images!

Dozens of firefighting crews are dwarfed by dense brown smoke streaming overhead in this north-facing Holbrook Junction Tamarack Fire panorama from Thursday evening, July 22.

We had to check and see the progress of the fire approaching our neighborhood at Topaz Lake, about 1/2 mile behind us.

The fire had clearly jumped Hwy 395, so part of it was also heading toward the neighborhood at Topaz Ranch Estates just a couple of miles to the east.

This portion of the fire perimeter is now considered controlled. Thank you to the fire crews, police and EMS personnel for your work during this difficult and at times traumatic incident!
