Yesterday I had the pleasure of donating a 50x40cm framed print of an Air Tractor Fireboss dropping water on one of the active fronts of the Monchique fire last year.
Sunset Reflection at the Barragem
I’ve been waiting for a perfectly still night and another fantastic red sunset to get down to a local “Bomberios Barragem” to get a reflection shot.
Here in the Serra (hills) of the Algarve you’ll find a lot of these man-made lakes (Bomberios Barregem translates to Firefighter Damn) which are used by fire trucks and helicopters to fill up with water in the event of a local forest fire.
