Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

...because some of it is pretty and some of it is not.

Eleven Years Ago


While looking through some files of old photographs, I came across several images I captured of the Meriwether Fire experiencing a blow up.  The fire started in July of 2007 and raged into August—eventually scorching some 46,300 acres of land.
The last two photographs include my house in the foreground.
If you live here, you live with fire.

  1. haha! I'd say the same about living on the Big Island. If you live here, you live with lava-fire. Almost the same! The only difference is with fire, you may be able to rebuild on the land. With lava, it depends. If the land has been covered with a mountain of lava, rebuilding would most likely be impossible unless there is access.

  2. Agree with you. I cannot believe how long this last event has been going on over there.
