On_Fired_Pond_02

            Headed out to the Windsor and Richmond area to see if I could get some shots of the mop up of the fires. I grew up at Penrith and spent lots of time in the areas affected riding my bike around and working as well.
Fortunately no one was taken by the fires and very little property damage occurred. I believe some fire fighters were injured, hopefully they are on the mend.
As an Australian, its impossible to escape the specter of bush fires (forest fires for some of you). Every summer we are bombarded with them at an increasing frequemcy it seems to due a combination of factors including poor land use planning, reduced hazard reductions burning and an increasing number of arson attacks.
I think seeing the fire up close would be terrifying. The images I shot are only small fires lit by fire fighters to reduce the amount of fuel load around houses. A real fire front I am yet to see. Not sure if I want to either.
Windsor Downs, NSW.
