Burned Landscape with Peaks

Fires are common on Kilimanjaro, where lightning strikes frequently. Large areas between Horombo Hut and Mandara Hut had burned recently, and some spots were still smoldering. The effect was oddly beautiful, with the blackened trees contrasting with the bright green grass. Both Kibo and Mawenzi can be seen in the distance. (3/1/97)
