Bushfire Season

Photograph by Pierre Destribats, National Geographic Your Shot

Lightning on a stormy evening near Port Hedland, Western Australia, ignites bushfires that send up an orange glow. A common threat to safety in the province during summer months, bushfires can start without warning and move quickly through vast areas.

With the lightening on the left, and the glowing sky on the right...A fascinating juxtaposition.

Thanks for this great picture, dear girl...
