New image: From my April 9th trip to the Flint Hills, click image for bigger version.
My favorite picture from the night. The wind at the time was strong and this part of the grass fire is raging. Its hard to get a sense of how much area is on fire in this picture. Miles and miles. Look in the lower right corner where you make out a couple of horses, these are about a quarter of a mile away from me.
There is always a risk they’ll be burning the Flint Hills this time of year, its usually just a smoky annoyance. I never intended to end up surrounded by fire but it was a cool sight.
