2014 National Geographic Photo Contest, Week 13, Part 1

“Great Fire of Valparaíso”. I was recently in Valparaiso Chile when a wildfire got out of control and crossed into the town. The fire destroyed at least 2,500 homes, leaving 11,000 people homeless and unfortunately there was loss of life. This photo was taken from Cemetery No2 and you can see the early stages of the fire before it crossed the ridge. The cemetery was closed but the caretaker unlocked the gate and let me in for 10 minutes. I had the place all to myself. Photo location: Cemetery No2 Valparaiso, Chile.
