Canon G7 X Mk II – 1/100, f/5.6, ISO 125, Eval Meter

Right now, this is all that remains of our 110 ft white oak that we took down a few weeks ago. The stump was ground up this past Saturday and it left a tower of sawdust. I started this fire on Sunday afternoon and it has been going strong now for 48 hours. The sawdust was pretty wet but I think the winds have helped to keep the fire going. It’s actually a slow smolder but the embers you can see (that is a log from another tree I put on this morning to help the fire along)indicate it is established.

The stump was ground to 6 – 8 inches below ground level. It’ll be interesting to see if the remaining stump catches fire. The only thing about this pic is I took it with the G7. I was able to better manage it close to the fire as opposed to the big 5D with the ‘L’ lenses that I didn’t want to risk.
