This awesome picture was taken in the Bitterroot National Forest in
Montana on August 6 by a fire behavior analyst from Fairbanks,
Alaska, by the name of John McColgan, with a Digital camera.

Since he was working while he took the picture, he cannot sell or
profit from it, so he should at least be recognized as the
photographer of this once-in-a-lifetime shot. Please forward this on
to your email contacts. Maybe someday it will get back to him and we
can show him that he has indeed been recognized for his efforts!
