Bush fire

Here are a few evening shots of the smoke from the fire that was raging in the hills west of Outram, so I am told. These were taken from the deck of the house 3 1/2 hours after I first saw the smoke as we flew back to Dunedin from a days work in Invercargill. The apparently pretty pink sky is actually smoke on a clear night as the sun sets. See here for an impressive array of photos from Otago Daily Times photographers and here at the Berg's blog.
