Across the bay from the hospice is Conwy mountain and beyond that is
Sychnant Pass. Today a large mountain fire has raged and I stopped on the way to work to photograph it.
Villages and farms have been evacuated today in scenes not unlike the ones from Spain
I saw that fire on the news. It's scary how rapidly wildfires can start and spread. I hope it's extinguished quickly and safely, and I really hope it wasn't started deliberately. xx
ReplyDeleteThose photos give me a bit of PTSD. I hope the fire is quickly contained.
ReplyDeleteWe had to evacuate from a wildfire for a week in 2020 from our rural Oregon town. We are always ready to flee at a moments notice.

that ain't good!
ReplyDeleteI never think of England having wildfires. I hope everyone is ok and that the fire is brought under control quickly. The last five years have been awful here for out of control wildfires, but this summer it's flooding. We should not be fucking around with Mother Nature.
ReplyDeleteWildfires are so dangerous and they move quickly endangering people and wildlife. Hopefully it is brought under control soon. Quality of air can become an issue as well.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and take care.
The streak of orange going down the mountain side reminds me of lava. You don't have a neighboring volcano, do you?
ReplyDeleteHope the fire is extinguished without loss of life.
Hugs!
I'm sorry to hear that. When I lived in the Pacific Northwest, I had to evacuate once due to wildfires near our home. Unfortunately, it has become a yearly occurrence in that area. I will keep the people living there in my prayers. And I know from experience, that even if you aren't in danger from the fires, the smoke is hard to deal with. I hope the fires will be extinguished soon.
