Wildfire in the los Guajares hills!
Some photos and comments from the wildfire in the Los Guajares and Pinos de Valle hills which started on 8th September at 14:00. Tragic circumstances and kudos to all those involved but it did lead to some spectacular imagery
8th September 17:10 - I think
we can say goodbye to the sun for today
10th September 19:55 - the smoke from the smouldering fires drifting
north tonight bringing atmospheric conditions to sunset. Hopefully the
fire will be controlled soon. Thanks to all the brave professionals
trying to bring an end to this
10th September 21:48 - the scale of the tragedy can only be truly
seen at night. This view from Lanjaron, with Pinos de Valle in the
middle distance. To the left a wall of flames. The light from the Ermita
Cristo del Zapato on the hill above Pinos visible too.
12th Sept at 06:45 - more fires broken out overnight to the south of
the range towards Motril. This taken from Lanjaron 6:45am
8th September 22:43 - fire raging
in the hills
10th September at 22:39 - needed Kiersten (and her camera/lens!) to
grab this spectacular photo of the Ermita Cristo del Zapato above Pinos
de Valle tonight
Thank you to all those
involved in fighting and eventually eliminating the Los Guajares fire. A
truly devastating environmental disaster for the area
