"Fire? No. Where?"
"Right outside! It's enormous. Five fire engines. Plumes of smoke. I can't believe you haven't noticed!"
I hadn't heard sirens. I hadn't noticed. And that's because the fire was actually nowhere near our house. It was, however, a serious one, about a mile and a half away, which had been burning for a couple of hours, sending plumes of thick black smoke 200ft into the sky.
Zooming in, you could be forgiven for thinking that there was a stormy rain cloud by the lamp post, but the bigger picture tells a different story! Nobody was physically hurt, thankfully, though houses around the blaze at commercial greenhouses had to be evacuated to a local pub. Not a great start to 2014 for one company. I hope they are well insured.
I'm linking up with Helena's 5th week of Zoom In Zoom Out ... 5 out of 5 so far ... how are you doing?
Oh :( Not a good start at all - hope they were insured. But interesting pair and yes considering the weather the first could easily be yet another storm cloud!
ReplyDeletewhat a dramatic sight - well captured
ReplyDeleteWow! What dramatic pics! Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a dramatic scene alright. I like the way it needs the two pictures to tell the whole story
ReplyDeleteSaw it on the news that morning!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were all safe :)
Those are great photos. Love the look of dark smoke. Though not the reason for it. :(
ReplyDeleteThe Zoom Out is such a dramatic photo; I'm glad no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteNow that's the most dramatic ZIZO I have seen! Nicely captured.
ReplyDeleteWow - I'm so glad no one was hurt. Great job with the zoom in/zoom out. I've participated twice this year and plan to jump in and out all year long!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dramatic zizo!
