The Night of Burning Blazes

Woke up to call from Dan at 01h45 this morning informing me that the mountain was ablaze... Couldn't believe my eyes - those firefighters had their work cut out for them, still amazed to see the vredehoek towers standing in the morning light. Was a very eerie sight with a bank of cloud hanging over the mountain and the sky all orange in the night.

I like the fact that your balcony made it onto news 24 - one of your neighbours just missed catching you in your pjs!
