312/365: "As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family." ~ Chanakya

2 more pictures above ! :)

This morning I awoke to the sun shining brightly through the windows on this crisp autumn day. After lunch I took the dogs up to the ridge for a walk, and when I got to the edge of our property, the trees opened up to the view below and across the valley. What a sight! Over the hill that separates our valley from the next over, it was obvious that they were having many autumn burns. The smoke was so thick that it looked like mist climbing the sides of the far hill! It also gave me a very rare opportunity to take a picture which illuminated the trees on the hill which sits in the middle, and all the smoke which looked so cool as it drifted through the trees.

Chanakya (c. 370–283 BCE) was an Indian teacher, philosopher and royal advisor. Wikipedia: Chanakya

A good perspective, the smoke has helped to give depth to the landscape. Controlled burns are just so important to help minimise the impact of any wild fires that may occur.
