Description
This photograph was shot a couple of weeks back. This morning firemen finally got a huge fire threatening eastern suburbs under control - 16,ooo hectars of land was already lost. The smoke from that fire is what created the thick, orange blanket of fog you see laying over the city. Though I didn't care much for the smell, the smoke gave the light an extra warm tone this morning.________________________________________

Brilliance. When i saw perth city in the daily deviation box i was amazed. I always though perth was the forgotten city. Hooray for perth. A very nice shot with some wonderful colours. I love the smoggy look in the background and the reflections on the water. Beautifully done!!!

Lovely, lovely shot. Beautiful tones created by the smoke of the fires. Solid composition, and those ducks in the foreground just put the icing on the cake
