Bitterroot National Forest Fire

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.

John McColgan, the BLM firefighter who took this photo Aug. 6 during fires in the Bitterroot Valley, says he "just happened to be in the right place at the right time" with his digital camera.
