A few images from the Australian Bushfires this week.
Taken in the Blue Mountains, just outside of Sydney.

A couple more...

Very sobering indeed.
Your photos are very well done and give a vivid reminder of the threat from these fires.
Trust you're safe

Thank you. I'm safe but the loss of animal life from these fires is unfathomable. There's been some human tragedy too. I think the saddest part of these fires is how many of them were deliberately lit. And, as I was taking these images, I spotted (and photographed) tourists watching the fires in high wind that were smoking cigarettes and watching the place burn... during a total fire ban.

The smoke certainly adds another dimension to photography at this time. Aside from the crazy sunsets, we're seeing some dark beauty in the eerie landscapes. It looks a little bit like dense mist and fog and it layers the landscapes in an interesting way.

The two images here were shot from the same location. To my West was a guy with his DSLR set up on a tripod at one of the modular lookout stations. I took that shot as the sun was setting. And to my East was a couple with a Canon DSLR setting up their gear for the sunset next to the aptly named 'Boar's Head Rock' - near the town of Katoomba. I live in the city so I rarely get to photograph much in the way of landscapes.
