While this image may be breathtaking from a photography standpoint, it is also a very terrifying one.. One that makes us realize, when we feel so comfortable living on the opposite end of the world, far away from most violence and natural disasters occurring daily, seeing that it always happens to others but never to us, that actually we are not so invulnerable as we may think. Having ashes flying all around my neighborhood, barely being able to breathe, seeing the fire on the other side of the mountain facing me, and having to pack with my family several suitcases and as many valuables as possible in case of emergency evacuation was a huge wake up call.. When you think you live such a perfect life sometimes and worry/complain about superficial things, yet you can be watching your life end in the matter of minutes, and be faced to restart from the beginning, as those hundreds of poor people, who lost their homes in the surrounding areas will have to do, it really makes us come back to down to earth very quickly and become extremely thankful and appreciative that we are just safe from the disaster.. My prayers go out to all of those affected in every kind of way by the fire! Let’s hope it ends ASAP!
