Sky Watch Friday
Forest fires sending smoke into the sky, as viewed from White's Bay one evening. helicopters were called to assist with putting out the fires and we watched as the helicopter swooped down and dipped a monsoon bucket into the ocean to get water to quell the flames.
A quite large area of Pine forest was destroyed, but no native timber was.

Hope no one was hurt, but a very interesting photo.
Damn that smoke! I hope all is well.
I concur, I hope no one was hurt!
Very creative photo.
Looks a little bit like our skies at the moment. there is a wildfire burning on the other side of the city from me..
It certainly makes for colourful sunsets and sunrises..
Nice shot..
OH!!! fire is not funny, but a great picture you got!!
Nice weekend, from Anne in Norway.
I hope they managed to put out the fire with minimal damage to the nature.
Dramatic stuff.....hope they put it out quick.
Your photo could almost be a watercolour painting.
Cool shot. glad no one was hurt.
great photo - i also hope, that no one was hurt -
The smoke adds some nice color.
Wow how horrible whites Bay is one of my favourite places to camp.
This is not the first fire in that
area I think I remember passing many burned down trees on our way to that area
Interesting photo. I hadn't heard about fires in New Zealand. Hope it's not a trend. Smoky skies does make for great sunsets, though.
