Straw Fire

This photoblog has been unloved during the harvest season, I’ve hardly got out with the camera at all, and it seems that when you get out of the habit of shooting regularly it’s hadr to motivate yourself to get going again.

So when my neighbour’s stacks of straw were set on fire last week it was a last minute decision to throw the camera bag into the car when we went to see if there was anyway we could help. On a dry but windy evening the fire was gone beyond recall within a few minutes, this was one of the last shots I took that evening, the fire had been burning for several hours and didnt finnaly go out till late the next day
