Canadair, a photo from Provence-Alpes-Cote-dAzur, South

Photographer's Note

One month, just before the summer... I was at the beach, in "Saint Cyr sur mer" between Toulon and Marseilles, in the south of the France. Perhaps a sign, of the appalling forest fires all during this summer in Provence. I captured this "canadair" ("water bombardier" in English???). This kind of plane is very used here to fight fires.

Still how much hectare this day, it is done in full action.

Very intriguing shot! A good action photo. You might want to do some post processing with some software to add some saturation to the greenery behind, just to make it sharper. I like your composition. Having the plane amidst the larger scene creates the context for the plane. Nice work!

Cher Chris,
Les pompiers, les pilotes ont été mis à rude épreuve cette année.
Bonne prise de vue, fallait-il encore être présent au bon moment !
