XVarior Posted July 27, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) yesterday, When we were about to start one of our sunday hikes we noticed smoke coming from a nearby mountain top. Me and 3 of my friends are bold environmental activists and we just couldn't help continuing with our hiking plan without making sure the fire is gonna be under control on the other side of the valley so we rushed up there only to find a small group of firefighters being helped with a group of super brave local farmers who rushed to the place with flip-flops! I had my m9 on me with a 35mm lens only, I told my friends that I'll venture inside the fire area and try to document the event for our environmental council. Fortunately, I was lucky to get some nice images but this was had something to it that makes it my proffered. Any comments are welcome as usual. Welcome, dear visitor!
