Wildfire

There's a pretty huge wildfire happening in Oak Creek Canyon, about 40-50 kilometers away from school. We're in no danger, but still it is a reminder of how precious life is here. Also, it reminds us that drought sucks. Although at the moment it is only 0-5% contained, I have no doubt that they will be able to put it out sometime during the next few weeks. And then the fire will have made room for new things to grow.

At first it was windy and all the smoke went north, but now the wind isn't as strong and so, the smoke spreads everywhere. It smells like fire. When I went "hiking" to take these photos, the air was very different from what it's usually like, and it got almost hard to breathe after a while. It's all safe, but it's very humbling to see the awesome power of nature. (The fire was started by humans).

How it normally looks...
