Description
This otherworldly scene was captured Nov 15, 2016 on an abandoned stretch of road (old highway 281, flooded by rising Devils Lake) south of Churches Ferry ND. The dead cattails were being burned off by famers in hopes of being able to plant the now-drying (once flooded) land, come spring. This was shot at at about 10PM and the bright light in sky is the full moon. I loved the way the fires seemed to almost be "bowing" to the moon, as if paying homage.

This is awesome.

Thanks - I was pretty excited when I encountered this scene, out in (literally) the "middle of nowhere" on an abandoned stretch of highway - had a very "Walking Dead" vibe!
