Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

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

Distant Fires


Destruction sometimes has a beautiful face.  Consider the awesome purple cloudfronts preceding a hailstorm.  Consider the whitewater from heavy rains tearing apart the flank of a mountain.  Consider the photograph I have posted today.
The lurid sunrise I captured over Hauser Lake yesterday has not been altered in color.  The lovely blush is a result of smoke from distant wildfires.
Another pretty face—this one wrought by fire.
