Pictures for Pam, Day 86: Burned Wood on Well House
(+2 insets!)
A couple of days ago I went out with my camera and got some frosty pictures down by our front gate. On the way back I decided to take a quick detour to check out our old well house shed. Roughly a 5-foot cube, it lay on its side in a ruined heap. This was one of the many casualties of the terrible wildfire that erupted on our property a few years ago. The fire engulfed our whole shop and half of our hillside but our home was saved and nobody was hurt.
Lately I've been glancing over at that well house as I walk up and down our road in the morning. I've avoided taking pictures of anything related to the fire but my overwhelming feeling of remorse is slowly lifting and I wondered if there were pictures to be found there.
Walking over to the shed, I realized that it was a treasure trove of macro pictures! Charred wood, exposed and rusty screws, nails, hinges...oh my, but the dozens of cool subjects I saw got me so excited I could hardly stand it! Unfortunately I couldn't stay more than a minute or two because of the cold. I was on a 15-minute timer and needed to get back inside before my toes and fingers were in serious pain. I did take a couple of pictures though, and I thought this image of charred wood would be fun to share today. I'll be doing a proper photo shoot in the next week I hope! (I'm also sharing a panorama of our burned hillside in silhouette during a gorgeous sunrise and another Table Rocks sunrise)
Pam, have you guys ever had wildfires around your place or close enough to become quite concerned? It's no fun, let me tell you. This wildfire happened one afternoon when a ground squirrel climbed up the power pole and somehow got electrocuted, fell into the grass and started the fire. Steve found out as he was driving home and called me at work as I was leaving for the day. We were so afraid for our animals...but when we got home, we learned that our house was save and our animals were all ok. Thank goodness for our awesome fire department! I hope you are doing ok today! Sending *HUGGGGGS*!!!

Happy sunday:)
You had a lucky escape from the fire! I'd be scared of living in an area where wildfires can happen on a regular basis.
Have a great Sunday my dear Pod Sister. Temps are high today (37ºF) in this crazy weather, from 2ºF yesterday.
Never have been closer to a fire than in Florida ... 2 houses up on the same side of the street. When all the Fire Trucks showed up, I was out with my Canon A630 taking hundreds of pics.
Just in case the owners needed it for insurance purposes ... they had just completed re-doing the inside of that home.
My next door neighbor was out of town - she was closest to the heat, though we felt it 2 yards down. Where in here the photos are, I have no idea - transferred them over from Flickr when I jumped ship!
I love the PiPs too..!!
your left inset looks like a burning forest....
Bonne semaine à venir chère Janet.
Von einem Feuersturm.
Freundliche Grüße und einen schönen Sonntagabend
Erich
A fantastic capture !!!
These are amazing photos. The charred remains of the door is fantastic, but you say a nail is in the middle, it looks like a bullet too!!!! As for the two sunrises - fantastic. What a view you have and thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Thought provoking "write"
... and wonderful PIP's too!

ce douloureux souvenir restera toute ta vie devant tes yeux...!
Oui ta photo est extraordinaire... très belle dans l'horreur du bois brûlé..
ce morceau de métal rond cerclé d'un anneau couleur cuivre est d'un très bel effet
sur bois brûlé....
Janet je ne peux m'empêcher de penser en regardant que c'est .....
une montre.. sur son bracelet de bois craquelé par les années..,
et ça me paraît comme un signe du destin...
le temps s'est arrêté à la fin de l'incendie cette montre en est le témoignage..
à nouveau bravO Janet...tu as un regard immense, beau et sensible sur tout ce qui t'entoure
