Zooming in even further to this lightning-started Colorado prairie fire made it seem as if the inferno were practically next to my vehicle, threatening to engulf it. [I could feel some radiative heat, even though it was nowhere nearly as close as this looks in reality.] Good thing zoom lenses serve useful as well as artistic purposes! That said, a slight wind shift toward the inflow region of the supercell that started it, which was at my distant rear, soon occurred, and I had plenty of time and room to ratchet back south on the side road and let the flames approach it harmlessly behind me.
