An Erickson Air Crane helicopter loads up in the evening light.
I headed up into the mountains a few nights ago, hoping to have a quiet few hours on the water and wet a line.
The evening ended up as a cast-and-photograph. An Erickson Air Crane helicopter was working the Millie fire, slurping water from Hyalite Reservoir before disappearing over the ridges and into the smoke.
The sound of running water and the whump-whump of a large helicopter immediately took me back to Russia. A quick look around, though, showed that I was indeed back in the Rockies and not on the Kola.

Thanks, John! Hung around for half a day waiting for the right light. Turns out it was worth it.
Hope all is well in the big ATX!
