Yesterday afternoon, we went on a short bike trip. It was only through the near vicinity. Basically for warming-up.
In retrospect, that sounds rather cynical. Because after a little more than five kilometers, we were pretty close to a forest fire. In fact, it looked like several forest fires. And it was definitely rather warm. Here are a few pictures. They have not been edited since yesterday.
All of a sudden, the air became heavy, the pictures unfocused.
There is a gusty wind from the ocean.
We are eager to leave the fires behind as fast as possible.
On the next morning, activity started early. The sound of plane engines everywhere. Fire-fighting planes came from the land, flew into the beach before us, took up water and returned.
Maybe I will go and take a look at things later – I sincerely hope the nightmare will be over by then.
