Cape Town fires in the night
Wednesday, October 7, 2009 - 00:42
This was last year's fire here in Gordons Bay, Cape Town. At this time the fire had been burning for a few days and no one thought it would go around Gordons Bay, but it did.
The night this photo was taken 7 people lost their homes and the fire continued till the next day and a few days after.
The smoke was so bad that one could not breath.
This is a shocking reminder of how fast nature can take back its ground but people continue to build houses even higher up in the mountains.
