Slave Lake,Alberta

I ended up having to fly home from my northern adventure due to highway closures.I shot this at about 27,000 feet as we flew over the Slave Lake area.You can see the fires and smoke below causing the red glow off the Slave Lake.Half the town of 7000 burnt to the ground.

From 27,000 feet the tragedy certainly reveals itself.

glad you got out safely. This picture just shows how big the damage is, if it can be seen from an airplane.
