Controlled burn

bookcliffs 8-23-09 100-400 131
Often out here in Utah we have to smile with the term controlled burn. This fire actually had created a giant cloud above it. Sort of like a nuclear explosion or a volcano. Most of these burns exceed their expectations.

Good shot John, forest fires are truly frightening so if it is controlled be thankful....

Great shot. They are now referred to as a Prescribed burn as they discovered there is no way to control them.

Yes, I'm sure that it must look far worse than it is!

Even though they say it's controlled it's always scary.
