Original – Fire retardant dispersed aerially onto brush adjoining a firebreak to contain the Tumbleweed Fire in Los Angeles County, California in July 2021.

Reason: I think this is a good photograph of a relatively uncommon event; not only does it show the immediate aftermath of a wildfire (which was still burning when I took this photo -- maybe that makes it the duringmath), it also shows the effectiveness of techniques used to contain it, with sharp contrast between the charred carbon to the left of the firebreak and the intact vegetation to its right. I also took a different picture of the same fire, which shows the same thing (burnt material to the left of a firebreak and unburnt material to its right) as well as some dramatic stuff like still-burning fires, atmospheric haze, et cetera -- but it's a little blurrier, and doesn't show the firebreaks as clearly.

Oppose Interesting image. Quality is insufficient. Dust spots on left and right (fixable). Blurred when zoomed in (not fixable). --Tagooty (talk) 03:00, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
