our saviors
In Tenerife on August 16, the largest fire in Spain was declared.
For days we watched the mountains burn behind our house.
But that particular day the helicopters with their baskets full of water kept passing by, very close to the house, it even gave the impression that they could collide with the chimney. So I decided to take the camera and capture the moment. There were about four helicopters. I noticed that one was bigger than the rest and could carry more water (the Kamov). I decided to concentrate on that one, because the amount of liquid it discharged was impressive, onto a hungry fire that threatened us.
Watching the coming and going of the helicopters, I was able to match two of them and I was lucky that a kestrel appeared in the middle of the stage. Something in my favor was that the backlit scene highlighted the silhouettes of the different protagonists.
I think the situation is special because it gives a lot of importance to the work of the firefighting services.
Photography is important to highlight the beauty, the challenges, the mysteries and looks that remind us again and again of the fragile breath of the planet.
