Fires around the Mediterranean

[minidog]

Over the past few weeks, high temperatures and strong winds have fueled a number of devastating fires in countries around the Mediterranean Sea. Spain, France, Italy and Greece have had hundreds of thousands of acres of forest and farmland devastated, dozens of homes destroyed and at least seven people ******, including six Spanish firefighters. Many of the fires have been contained, but much work remains, aided by the recent arrival of somewhat cooler temperatures

Great photos, Mini-D. However, it looks like a typical summer in California to me.

Hope they can get the fires under control quickly.
