novembre ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- eight hundred fires, one thousand fires We went back to that spot the next day. Driving back to the trail, our caravan stopped and all women convened on the side of the road, watching the mountain directly across from us burn. "Twenty-two fires in this area alone, the thunder storm," Louisa said. From the car, James pointed out how we could see the trees turn into cartoon-like skeletons. Silently, we watched one giant turn into an exoskeleton. After its branches burned white, I looked around and noticed that the fire had doubled in size since we stopped there. 11:32 pm - 06.25.08 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
