Smoke On The Water
Photo of the lake I live on, with smoke on the water. Photo by me, Mark Smoke from Controlled Burn Panorama 2d, Alabama, USA, 24 January 2025
Holy Moly! This is what I awoke to today. The first thought, fog, but when I opened the door, it was smoke being carried on the wind. Though it looks potentially dangerous, and with the wind the potential was high, apparently a person about a 1/4 mile from our house was doing a "controlled" burn. I have seen controlled burns before, but never when it was windy. However, it made for a great photo opportunity, so I took the shot. I hope you enjoy it.
Oh, and a bit of cool trivia. So, the song by Deep Purple, "Smoke On The Water", when played backwards, is Beethoven's 5th, slightly modified. It seems, Beethoven was ahead of his time, looking backwards, that is.
