A very small home has been lost to fire. Notice the propane tank that did not explode.

I have seen fire and it consumes. It leaves ashes of what once was.

In a chapter of my life past I heard the words “fire” and ended up standing less thirty-feet from a big fire hosing down a propane tank to keep it “cool” till first responders arrived.It was winter but I had a sunburn from the intense heat of the fire. I had forgotten that till this post. I survived as I hope these folks did as well. Great capture my Brother.

I like the treatment here. The trees are so fine! I really don’t know why the missing roof hits me first. It’s dramatic when it really shouldn’t be. Hmmm. You’ve confounded me. I can usually figure out why a feature in an image is so prominent, but not this one. Really fine edit! 🙂

I think that the missing roof is the center of interest here and our eyes just go there. Glad you like it George, and thanks for the comment.

In my work as an attorney, I have been involved in the investigation of many fires–quite a few involving propane. I haven’t been on an inspection in a while, and I can’t really take photographs and post them when I do. But this very fine photograph brings to mind many days in my life.

That would be unsettling, investigating fires. Good morning, counselor.
