Fire on the Horizon

Here's a photo I took at the height of this summer's fires, towards the end of August.

It's taken from the round window in our porch (as it will be when finished) looking to the north. The fire was just the other side of Santa Comba Dao, a small town about 8 km away. Santa Comba Dao is our transport hub; from there we can get buses and trains all over Portugal (and Europe for that matter; an international train from Paris comes through daily).
