Kisatchie Burning
There is a hauntingly beautiful, and an almost ethereal calm right after a controlled burn inside the forest. In some way's it looks similar to a natural forest fire. Charred earth, thick smoke and haze, the sun blocked, shrouded by looming clouds of smoke, and warm ground beneath you.

I stumbled upon the controlled burn yesterday, March 12, 2024 in one of my most favorite places; Longleaf inside U.S. Forest Service - Kisatchie National Forest! After being inside and witnessing the burn last year, I was a little more prepared to catch one. This time I got low, to bring in the scorched ground, waited for clouds to pass so the light of the sun would illuminate parts of the plumes of smoke.
These are some of my captures from the controlled burn! This is a necessary process, a system that restores and rejuvenates the forest floor, and capturing part of this to me is interesting! I’m also a big fan of watching fires from a distance and the way the smoke fills the trees reminds me of some old horror movies!
