Pagosa // A Timelapse of The Colorado Wildfires

From PetaPixel:

In June and July of this year, record temperatures and dry conditions in Colorado led to massive wildfires that destroyed hundreds of structures and the loss of 2 lives. The fires were so big that the smoke plumes could clearly be seen from space.

College Station, Texas-based filmmaker and photographer Matt Johnson created the time-lapse video above that captures both the beauty of Colorado’s landscapes and the power of the recent forest fires.

The video shows the fires burning through thousands of acres of forest in July — some of the fires grew to over 80,000 acres in size. “I have never seen such a powerful event up close like this before,” Johnson says. “It was truly humbling.”
