Photograph by Michael Yamashita. @yamashitaphoto. Prescribed burn, Mendham, New Jersey. As a volunteer fireman in a rural Jersey town, we often set fires to prevent the buildup of combustible material when weather conditions are right. Far different from the images of California wild fires I am seeing every morning where drought conditions and high winds have burned up over a hundred thousand acres and consumed hundreds of homes. Over 7000 fire fighters are battling to control one of the most destructive blazes in California history. Pray for rain. #fire #forestfire @natgeocreative @thephotosociety by natgeo http://ift.tt/1W331LV – Gatlinburg Garden Castle Rainbow Tower Library Imagination Station Temple Water Spirit Guardian Labyrinth Treasury Magic Healing
