Good stuff Ripp.

Funny seeing the fires.

When I first visited in Africa in 1988. I flew from Zimbabwe to London. And while over the Congo/Cameroon area looking down from the night sky, could see a massive line of fire on the dark Earth below. Now think how big that fire had to be seen, to be seen from a jetliner high in the sky above.





It was the same here last summer..when I flew from Bozeman, Montana to Seattle, Washington..huge fires in Idaho..could see them from the air..incredible...

Surprised no one has noticed/mentioned the lion???

Can't spot it.

In the centre there is a shade of lion coloured fur which might be it. But can't spot any distinguishing marks, such as tail, nose, eyes, ears etc.

Maybe it is obvious?

Now you mention it Ripp, I do see the lion. Had not noticed it before. Almost in the middle of the pic. You can see how well they blend in and how easy it would be not to see them.

I think I see it, but no distinguishing features - side and shoulder or hip maybe.
