Hey All,

Picture I took yesterday afternoon as the storms were passing through..

The tower of pyrocumulus above this (just out of shot) was nothing short of an amazing sight.

Oh and apologies if there is a footpath anywhere in this shot

Fire even further off into the distance now.

4 Bombers down here, plus a small DEC spotter aircraft.

Apologies for colour - didn't remember to install Photoshop on my Notebook grrr!

The top one (602) is more than likely from Albany. I should be able to confirm that when I head to Albany in the morning. I'm guessing 601 is there too.
