4/365 photo challenge
2012.01.04
took this one about 500meters up the road from our house..
|
this guy kept flying right over our heads (all us bystanders who just had to get those all important photos while breathing in foul smoke!)
|
not long after this photo I left, and I think the residents were told to evacuate as it had started to jump the highway..
|
I only really took this one as my son loved the big fluffy cloud behind the chopper lol
|

this morning I was debating on what type of photo, needless to say by early afternoon I had my answer..
With a fire in the scrub near out airports, and two of the major highways here in Perth, you could clearly see the Helitacks (fire fighting helicopters), flying low from near my house...
I have never really experienced smoke associated with fires of that magnitude before and never want to for real.... the 10 minutes I spent up that end taking the photos is enough, my hat goes off for those men and women who deal with that sort of danger a regular basis...
