Fascinating capture. Breathing would be difficult in the immediate area.
wow; I like this too; stunning capture !!! isn't the gorse flowering yet ?? here they are blossomming
Yes the gorse is in flower, but what is being cut down here is very old leggy stuff and not a good habitat (except for spiders)
Such a lovely pic Andrea,
A TOP CLASS capture! The action seems very intense amongst the swirling smoke! I know they cut the leggy stuff down. I thought all those hiding spiders is the only food for the Dartford warblers and Goldcrests through the winter!
They leave plenty!
Perfect timing indeed Andrea ! Incredible shots of a rare moment , thanks for sharing.
Suggestive, very suggestive image !!
Great captures Andrea a bit smoky but interesting
Wonderful shot of the smoke - it almost looks like a battlefield shot. And I like the silhouettes of the crew...
A smelly old job and I too like the silhouettes.
I bet the smell was lovely, I like the smell of burning clippings/leaves etc. I'd have bout some sausages along :) I remember going there with you and honey and the dogs on my birthday 2009, we shot the webs.
Fantastic color of the smoke and sky. And the silhouettes give this an epic feel. I like the fellow on the right pointing up. Is that your tree on the left?
It's truly spectacular! :)
Excellent captures!!!
A really beautiful shot of gorse burning.
Great shots, this one I really like with the smoke billowing up and around, and the stances of the people. They do this gorse burning here in the SW too, it's a very important process.
Wonderful intensity and colour, I love it too!
I like the billowing smoke and I liked both photos. Did it smoke bother your fur kids?
Looks a bit like a zombie apocalypse, expect them to stager towards me out of the smoke "BRAINSSS!!!!"
Nice. I just had to google what the heck gorse is!!!!!!!!
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Fantastic portrait.
What nice colors in the smoke! Glad you were there! :)
Awesome smoky capture, love it!
in zoom it becomes a billowing shot---the central billow is very dramatic. The people---some engulfed in the smoke, some silhouettes in front of it---add punctuations to the big billows. And the light on the right is wonderful---quite intense. A very rich shot, Andrea, and expressive too. I wonder if you were inundated by the odors (a big fire can create odors for miles). Real color variations too, in the smoke and sky.
