Flare

This is a photo from the field fire just southwest of Pendleton last week.
The helicopter that was dipping water out of the Umatilla River is just visible at the bottom of the frame.
Like many of my photos on this blog, this one wouldn't work for a newspaper, but I still like it. The billowing smoke promotes drama. The bright sun and deep blue sky shows contrast. The tiny helicopter battling it all portrays action.
