Photographer’s Note

Mt. Kilimanjaro

The background shows a huge cloud of smoke coming from a forest fire on the north side of Kilimanjaro.
The smoke from the fire could be smelt, even from the top of Kilimanjaro (5895 m).

The foreground shows a little left over ice from the fast retrieving glaciers on Kilimanjaro.

Have a nice day!
