Incredible Wildfire Photos
Unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard about the devastating wild fires in Colorado. My buddy Doug, who always sends me great stuff, sent me a link to the Denver Post, who have posted some absolutely amazing pictures. They really highlight the damage and immensity of these fires.
I’ve picked just a few to show all of you, please check out the Denver Post for more.

The Waldo Canyon fire burns an entire neighborhood in near the foothills of Colorado Springs, Colo. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Colorado has endured nearly a week of 100-plus-degree days and low humidity, sapping moisture from timber and grass, creating a devastating formula for volatile wildfires across the state and punishing conditions for firefighters.

I just dont believe in living in the west. Just too much mess. That is so sad. I know the insurance companies are crying up something awful.
Serious? No tornados, hurricanes, humidity? DC just had a major storm that took out power and now there’s a heat wave. That a little obtuse. These homes are on fire because they chose to build in the mountains.
Thanks for posting these pictures, following it on the news a bit but hadn’t seen photos like these yet.
You’re welcome. We here about it on the news but to see pictures like this really puts things into perspective.
Colorado Springs is a center for Pentacostal Christians, many of whom condemn the gays. Have you heard Pat Robertson condemn the life styles of those in C.S. for bringing on the fires? How about Fred Phelps and his group from Topeka, KS? Both chastise only gays, not the “christians” who feel gays are devil worshippers!
Complete bullshit and no I hadn’t heard that about these fires. I want to be a fly on the wall when they meet Jesus and he’s like “bitch, please!” And sends em all to hell!!
