Winter Fire-what is the farmer up to?

Burning Brush....
Those mammoth piles that I liked to photograph are becoming ashes and smoke.

Still aflame tonight. I did wonder if these fires would be harmful or frightening to the atmosphere, the wildlife, etc. But farmers will be farmers and they need cleared fields to grow our food.

Fire is transformation. The Pheonix in action. Get rid of the old and make way for the new. A perfect winter activity, warming by a brush fire while preparing for spring.
