Before the chaos that has engulfed life over the last 2 years, there was the chaos of the 2020 bushfires, killing 34 people and destroying 5900 buildings. This image depicts an exhausted firefighter amidst smouldering debris and thick smoke, after battling a fire at a property in Bombay. A powerful reminder that Mother Nature is both beautiful and fiercely unpredictable.
