Awesome Photograph

This it one of those pictures that can truly be considered awesome........

This awesome picture was taken in the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana on August 6, 2000 by a fire behavior analyst  from Fairbanks, Alaska by the name of John McColgan with a Digital camera.  Since he was working while he took the  picture, he cannot sell or profit from it, so he should at least be recognized as the photographer of this once-in-a-lifetime shot.  Please forward this on to your email contacts. Maybe someday it will get back to him and we can show him that he has  indeed been recognized for his efforts!
