I've never witnessed a fire in the Kruger Park but I've driven through freshly burnt land. Unbelievable that this is necessary for some plants to procreate (although you're not sure if it was controlled or not in your case).

Driving through the Krugerpark we remember being stopped by uncoming cars to exhange information on what we had seen and what we might see driving in the direction they were coming from. If there were Americans in the car more often then not they would ask: "Seen any cats?" Well, I did see a cat: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/02/09/how-dare-you-disturb-my-slumber/

Fires are devastating, but they make for stunning images at night, John. We saw a fire in British Columbia 2 years ago across the ridge from Radium Hot Springs. Seeing you picture reminded me of how scary and devastating wildfires can be. It sure was great to meet you and Lin in person. I included our group photo on my post today:

In reply to margaret21.Indeed. In the end, the damage was relatively minor, though one airport building was closed for a time.

In reply to bushboy.I am not sure how controlled this fire was. One of the airport buildings had fire damage.

Controlled fires are always dramatic looking especially at night
