Default My first post on here - Yosemite's Burning

I was in Yosemite for the first time in Sep. There was an out of control 'controlled fire' that looked like it was was going to affect any views down Tunnel View. I decided to use it to my advantage and with a little PhotoShopping I'm pretty happy with this shot.
