Heat of Summer 2021 & Fighting Deadly Forest Fires! Unfortunately fueled by us stupid Human Beings causing dangerous Climate Change & Pollution! Which sadly maybe a Sign of the Future & tho hate to admit it but unfortunately maybe the end of Life as we knew it! 🤣

I met a person, while travelling thru Budapest, who's an independent photographer / journalist! Who had their head on straight as we hit it off talking tho I may not have my head on straight! Lol

This cool acquaintance/friend I believe who has been living temporarily in Portland Oregon! While there they were following the Heat Wave & Forest Fires in the state of Oregon!

As they photographed & posted the monstorous Heat Wave that hit Portland! As the Pacific Northwest & BC in Canada also faced the extreme Heat too at the end of June! 

Now the Pacific Northwest is facing the BootLeg Fire raging in southern Oregon near the California border which started in mid to late July until?

What impressed me besides this person's adventuristic spirit is they receive little or no financial assistance!

As enjoys traveling to dangerous areas photographing to show & tell the real situation not a watered down version!

I dont bother them often as they have better things on their plate then communicating with an idiot like me!

As they spent time in the Middle East, travelling thru the US in 2020 photographing Black Lives Matter Riots & is currently in Colombia!

Here's a recent posting on FB which I gather is their main outlet as they have many FB friends!
