This is the Mt. Charleston Fire… It is estimated to be cover 7000 to 9000 acres of forest covering the Spring Mountains in Southern Nevada. These hills are covered in pines, even very old Bristlecones at the highest elevations. It is very dry and still at Zero Containment. Still lots of black smoke and hope that the wind calms down over night and tomorrow… added a new gallery here:http://www.sandquistphotography.com/Other/MtCharleston-Fire-2013/30378561_9SmhnH#!i=2617476538&k=hxtF8dL

These are just amazing photographs! We have seen countless photos on television, in the newspapers and on the internet, but yours are second to none! Such beauty amidst such destruction. Many thanks. chuck & sally
