Day Forty Three - Bush Fire


The landscape here, in Lethem, is mainly dry grassland, with some small clusters of trees. Now we are in the dry season there are fairly frequent small fires. These are often lit by locals to keep down the snake population and to encourage new, fresh grass to grow through for the small amounts of livestock that are kept.

  2. Beautiful image, so moody yet colourful. You kept a remarkable amount of detail in the shadows considering how bright the highlights are.
