The Fire Down Below

I can often be found outside in the early morning photographing the sunrise. On Monday, I caught the sun just as it began to emerge through the trees. A tiny glint of gold, then a ball of orange.

Then, a bit of something unusual: hmm, what's that? Smoke billowing up from below! While it looked like a forest fire from a distance, it turned out - upon further investigation - to be just smoke from a neighbor's chimney. (Whew!)

A song to accompany this smoky, orange scene: Bob Seger's The Fire Down Below.
