That's a telling image, Brian. Reminds me of the waterspout shot in
downtown Miami a couple years back.
A good number of out PDML family live in Oz. I hope none of you are
affected by these fires. I'm reading this morning that they are
reporting 854 dead. You guys stay safe.

Hi all
Bushfires are an unfortunate fact of life in much of southern
Australia
in summer and are causing havoc in many parts of Victoria as I write
(25+ dead, over 100 homes destroyed). Then there are the ongoing
floods
in much of Queensland.....
Anyway, by coincidence I came across this image of one of the several
fires in 1994 that destroyed property in parts of suburban Sydney.
This
one was in the Royal National Park about 40 km to the south of the
centre of Sydney. I took the photo from my office building in
Sydney's
CBD.
The original was on Kodak Ektar 100 (I really liked that film!) but
the
scan was pretty awful so I decided on a b&w conversion. I used Focus
Magic to try to get some sharpness into the foreground buildings and
then used mainly the red channel plus a bit of tonal adjustment here
and
there.

Comments, as always, most welcome.
