An amazing National Geographic pix for our African friends.



It took me a few minutes to figure out it's zebras and their shadows from above.

It likely took quite awhile to get the red liquid and the pliers laid out just right for the photo shoot. lighting was perfect too.

Having seen a lot of blood in my day, i could tell that photo was faked. Not badly however the viscosity of blood is hard to fake. :twisted:

I was still guiding in Montana back then. I remember that pic being in all the papers. I think it was taken in the Bitterroot Valley. Almost the entire western half of the state was on fire that year.

It was so dry that one fire started in Wolf Creek when a guy's wheel fell of his truck and the hub hit the pavement, causing sparks which set the dry grass on the side of the road on fire. It immediately went out of control up a hill and burned around 250 acres.

You're absolutely correct, Rad, it was August 6 of 2000. This link has the info on it and who took it.

I've packed this area and other parts of Montana during fire seasons and sometimes it would look like a blanket of snow on the tents in the morning, but it was a half inch of ash! You can be miles from an active fire but the smoke, haze, and ash can still impact you.

One positive that came out of those fires was that the next year there was a huge bumper crop of morels.
