Yep. Same photo. You can actually see the flames at the base of the smoke columns. I wonder how high the flames are?

About 15 years ago, I was riding in a twin engine Cessna from Utah to Idaho when there were some huge fires in Idaho. I could see the smoke columns - they were going higher than the tops of the thunderclouds, probably about 35 - 40,000 feet, and absolutely huge. The convenction storms on the ground must have been massive.

Was this when you were going nude skydiving?

Great to see you here again.
