Cairns, Australia
In days past, cane fires like this one were a common sight for Cairns residents. Now however, with the practice of cane being harvested green, they are a real rarity. In order to get the shot I wanted, I had to set up right in the path of this blustering inferno. To be surrounded by the crackling cane and billowing smoke, and at times recoiling from the physical force of the heat, was an amazing experience.

Jason I. ★★★★★

The print captures the old-timey feel of Cairns perfectly, with the smoke and sugarcane field looking almost like a faded postcard. It's a nice slice of local history that we don't see anymore, and the detail on the fire is sharp enough to make you look twice.

George ★★★★★

Bought this as a gift for my dad, who grew up in Cairns, and he got a bit teary seeing that old green-cane harvest scene. The print quality really brings out the smoky sky and the rarity of the moment.

Abigail ★★★★★

Brought back so many memories of growing up in Cairns — the image captures that fiery glow perfectly. The print quality is sharp, and it's a real conversation starter on my living room wall.
